03:29The Machine!
03:32Wallace Willing!
03:45Okay, Genshin has done the rules you've fought, and don't listen to me all time to keep yourself protected.
03:48When I tell you to stop, you stop.
03:50If you want to touch, do it now.
03:52God bless.
03:55They touched gloves this time.
03:57He did, and Pyotr Jan has been waiting since March of 2023 to get this one back.
04:05Morabh Dwalishwili.
04:06Peter!
04:07Peter!
04:08Peter!
04:09Peter!
04:10No step.
04:12Ignore him.
04:13Jan looks big.
04:14Huge.
04:15Morabh Dwalishwili becoming the first champion in UFC history to put a belt on the line four times in a calendar year.
04:25This is, hey, this is what Jan needs to do.
04:28He needs to be forward.
04:30Good boy.
04:31Slow.
04:32Up with the pressure.
04:33Hands up.
04:34Up with the pressure, that's fine.
04:38Jan, very skilled fighting out of both stances.
04:40The Rob again sparred this morning.
04:41Of course he did.
04:44Five hard rounds, no headgear.
04:47Ooh!
04:49Therein lies part of the issue, right?
04:51The striking improvements for Dwalish Willey.
04:56Who outstruck Jan in every round in their first move.
05:01And when Jan goes, Rob will grab his leg.
05:05One thing to take it in.
05:06Oh!
05:06Beautiful right hand, left hook by Rob.
05:09And he hurt Sanhagen with his punches.
05:16Dwalish Willey striking, leading the dance here early.
05:18Jan with a beautiful jab.
05:21Oh, and another one.
05:23Oh, Piotr's a better striker.
05:25Rob can make improvements, but if they're just straight striking, no wrestling,
05:29it's Piotr Jan all day.
05:30But eventually, when Rob starts to mix the takedowns,
05:33and that's where you start to fall behind.
05:36The one thing that Jan said about that first fight
05:38was that he came into that fight with an injured right hand.
05:41And I rewatched the fight, and it really does seem like it was barely using it.
05:44That hand is obviously fully healed now, and we'll see if there's a difference.
05:52But Merab is better now.
05:54Yeah, he is.
05:55And he's got, but Merab's got some red under that left eye already.
05:57Oh, yeah.
05:58One jab.
05:58He's looking for that big cross to stay off.
06:02He's looking for that big cross to stay off.
06:04He's looking for the right hand.
06:07Good defense by Young.
06:10He's slick.
06:12And Piotr Jan is the guy that usually takes the first round,
06:18gets his reads, and then starts to really separate himself.
06:21Problem is, you can't give Merab.
06:24You've got to win the first three rounds against Merab.
06:27Because he's getting four and five.
06:30Jan, as usual, with that patented high guard.
06:33You see that right hand stuck to the face.
06:40Jan has never been stopped.
06:41This is his 25th pro fight tonight.
06:44I'm very surprised.
06:45We're almost three minutes into this round.
06:47There's no takedown at this for Merab.
06:48There's no takedown at this for Merab.
06:50Duolish really with some definite redness.
06:53Nice right hand.
06:55He's done with a connection by Young.
06:57Yeah, Merab's hurt.
07:01Nice jab by Young.
07:04There it is again.
07:08There it is.
07:09He has a takedown.
07:10Merab got cracked.
07:19Immediately went to the wrestling.
07:21Scores his first takedown on Peoria.
07:23Yeah, we knew that was coming.
07:29The moment you think Merab is just striking you,
07:31this is coming.
07:31You're out of your mind.
07:34You're out of your mind if you think
07:35he's going to stand a straight with you.
07:37That was longer than I expected, honestly.
07:41Duolish Willie has yet to ground Jan.
07:44Five attempts unofficially.
07:46Wait, they've counted five takedown attempts?
07:48They have.
07:50Which is...
07:52Rob's cut.
07:56A lot of blood on the back of Peoria.
07:58Good post by Jan.
07:59Jan is an athlete, man.
08:01He is hard to take down.
08:03And he also has outstanding endurance.
08:06And that's what we're going to see in this fight,
08:07whether or not he can maintain that
08:09with the onslaught that Merab brings.
08:15Yeah, Jan's cardio held up very well
08:18in those first 25 minutes.
08:20Great takedown defense so far by Jan.
08:23Yeah, it's very hard for Merab to take him down.
08:25He's doing a good job.
08:26He's doing a good job.
08:26Good job by both men.
08:43Oh, I mean, it's crazy, man,
08:47because he just gets into your hips.
08:49And even here, he doesn't mind doing this.
08:52Pushed against the octagon side
08:53and controlling kneeing you
08:55and just making you work.
09:03Good offense late in the round
09:05from Dwalishwili.
09:18Round one of the books.
09:19Okay, okay, okay.
09:26Ice, take ice on.
09:31Breathe.
09:32Slow.
09:34Small, little, tiny cut.
09:35Nothing.
09:41He's biting on all those hard steps.
09:43He's biting on all those hard steps.
09:45Oh, yes.
09:46He's biting on all those hard steps.
09:49Here's your water.
09:49Let go, Frank.
09:50Big shots and go again if you want.
09:53Okay, listen.
09:53Stay on the straight punches when you enter.
09:55Okay, he's looking just for that big cross.
09:58So make sure when we punch,
09:59we're going to block and press.
10:01Yes.
10:02And I want those doubles.
10:03Let's get on that double
10:04and let's put his ass down off the double, okay?
10:09Block and go.
10:10He's looking for that big cross.
10:12Round two is brought to you by Monaco,
10:13the official canned cocktail of UFC.
10:15Two shots in every can.
10:16He's looking for that big cross.
10:18Well, he always wants to know
10:19if he's won rounds.
10:21Corner seemed to think it was an afterthought.
10:23I'm not so sure.
10:25Relax.
10:27I mean, I'm sure they're probably
10:29trying to pump him up with confidence,
10:31but when you're judging on damage.
10:34Oh, nice right hand by Merab.
10:37Merab did land some big shots himself in that round,
10:40but the biggest and most damaging shot
10:42was that right hand by Peoriaan.
10:45Yeah, absolutely.
10:47Dwalish Willy.
10:49Ninth takedown attempt unofficially.
10:51So fast on the hips.
10:54I just can't believe they're saying
10:57he's attempted nine and he hasn't scored any yet
11:01because he went down to his hands only for a second.
11:03Right.
11:05Peoriaan is doing a tremendous job
11:06with defending takedowns.
11:12And remember when we talked about
11:13getting your legs down to the mat, heavy?
11:16Look at how heavy he is on his feet.
11:17See that?
11:19Foot on the mat.
11:20Making it very difficult for Merab to move him.
11:22Now it's up.
11:26Trying to block him out.
11:27Dwalish Willy persistent in pursuit,
11:35but as yet unable to ground Yon.
11:37Now one of the things we have never seen
11:39is Merab attempt all those takedowns
11:42and never score.
11:43I wonder if that starts to fatigue
11:45and where everyone he attempts,
11:47it takes him so much energy to fail.
11:50It's a great point.
11:51She had 0 for 10 unofficially thus far.
11:53Well, in the Jose Aldo fight,
11:58did he ever get him down?
12:00Oh!
12:01Yon's jab is nasty.
12:08Oh!
12:13Dwalish Willy retreating a bit here.
12:16Nice jab from Yon.
12:17Yon's hands look sick right now.
12:19In the Jose Aldo fight,
12:30Merab never took him down.
12:32But it was all against the octagon side?
12:33Yes.
12:34He was pressing Aldo and holding him there.
12:360 for 16,
12:38I'm being told by the truck.
12:40In the Jose Aldo fight.
12:46The only fight where he didn't take his opponent down.
12:49And Jose Aldo had legendary takedown defense.
12:53But what Piori Yon is doing, though,
12:56is not only is Piori Yon defending takedowns,
12:58he's actually getting back to the center
13:00and making him strike with him.
13:02He's not allowing Rob to control him.
13:04Look at this.
13:05Look at this.
13:06Piori Yon with a takedown.
13:08Unbelievable.
13:09Look at this.
13:10Wild.
13:11People felt like he had to wrestle offensively.
13:13Oh, no.
13:14What a scramble by Merab.
13:16Beautiful job by Merab.
13:23Merab with that nice Grammy roll.
13:26Oh, Yon with the same action.
13:28Look at that.
13:31Wow.
13:33Piori Yon has come to fight.
13:36Yes, he has.
13:36And he has the benefit of having already been there
13:41inside the octagon with Merab.
13:43Merab is a guillotine here.
13:44Yes, he does.
13:45Merab has that same low action he had against Sean O'Malley.
13:49Merab is a master of nothing more
13:52than just making you work constantly.
13:56Piori Yon needs to attack the hands here.
13:58This is a dangerous position here for Piori Yon
14:01because Merab is like a crocodile
14:03when he gets on your neck.
14:04Oh, nasty jab by Piori.
14:14Coach, Dean Thomas, what are you seeing?
14:15You know, the corner of Dwallis really was worried about
14:18the right hand from Yon,
14:19but I think it's the jab they got to worry about
14:21because he's using that jab as a post
14:23to not only set up the right hand,
14:25but it's also deterring Dwallis really from being able to shoot.
14:29It's that jab that's going to be a problem for Dwallis really
14:31as this fight goes on.
14:33The jab right now is nasty by Yon,
14:38and he is busted to rob up.
14:40And he's being judicious with it as well,
14:43picking his spots beautifully.
14:45Finally, Dwallis really able to ground Yon,
14:48but Piori pops right back up.
14:50A tremendous takedown defense and balance by Piori Yon.
14:54Look at this.
15:01You see Dwallis really, the far busier guy.
15:06The Yon corner looking for some separation here.
15:10Dwallis really still hasn't been credited
15:12with a takedown 0 for 12.
15:14Oh, big right hand.
15:22And now a jab from Yon,
15:23loads up on the right hand and misses.
15:31Jab from Dwallis really to close the round.
15:34Piori Yon is a championship for him tonight.
15:37Yeah.
15:38This is a good fight.
15:40I mean, with that being said, though,
15:41it's probably still 2-0 on the round.
15:43Big breath, big breath.
15:44Hey, listen.
15:45Possibly.
15:45All he's doing, Mark,
15:46is looking for the big, big body shot.
15:51He's looking for the big right hand.
15:53Drop that leg, punch a couple of times,
15:54and go again.
15:56He's moving his head.
15:57When he moves his head,
15:59I want one to the head, the rest of the body,
16:01then we're going to get that takedown, okay?
16:02I want him defending that body.
16:04Big shot.
16:05Big shot.
16:06Make him throw in there.
16:07And here's the shocker.
16:11Piori Yon takedown.
16:12I mean, Rob probably did not see this coming.
16:15No.
16:17And there's a nasty jab there by Piori Yon.
16:21And a big right hand at the end of the round,
16:23right on the nose.
16:29UFC 323, Dwallis Willy versus Yon 2,
16:33is presented by State.us,
16:35the official social casino partner of UFC.
16:38Round three of a possible five.
16:46Dwallis Willy's nose a little bit mangled here after two.
16:49Piori Yon backing him up is so good.
16:52The way that he makes the Rob back up
16:53keeps him on the edge of his striking range,
16:56and then he's so fast and sharp with his punches.
16:58Marab wing shots.
17:00Everything Deodoros throws is straight.
17:02Beautiful kick there.
17:06Oh.
17:08Marab's nose is busted up.
17:09It is.
17:10Hands lead to the jab.
17:13Marks up, Marks up, Marks up.
17:17His hand takes the bar.
17:18Cut him, cut him.
17:20Nice right hand by Marab.
17:22That's a big right from Dwallis Willy.
17:26Oh!
17:26Oh!
17:27He got slammed on his head by Yon.
17:30What a moment for Piotr Yon.
17:32Dwallis Willy urgently back to his feet.
17:35Beautiful take down, Piotr.
17:37Oh, Jack from Yon now.
17:38Rob's face is busted up bad.
17:44Piotr's so clever in there.
17:46Yeah, he is.
17:47He's just so slick.
17:49Oh, nasty left hand.
17:50Piotr looks like the guy that was on that long championship run.
17:55And we have to remember, Piotr's two years younger than Marab.
17:58Like, he's still purely in his prime.
18:00Yes, he is.
18:01And as much as we talk about Marab Dwallis Willy being a different species,
18:06still trying to win four UFC title fights in a year.
18:08That's a big moment, but he's right back up.
18:21Right back up.
18:22I don't agree with all those scorecards.
18:24That's crazy.
18:24We talked about this on the weigh-in show.
18:33To beat Marab, you got to sprint to three rounds
18:36because he's going to start to get tougher
18:38as you get into round three, four, and five.
18:42But to this point, Piotr Yon has fought the best fight
18:45he could have possibly hoped to fight.
18:47He's got the hands separated briefly.
18:54And Marab right back on him.
19:00Tremendous little adjustments right in front of us
19:02by Yon to stay upright.
19:03Knee to the body.
19:04Nice knee to the body.
19:06Oh, here's that jab.
19:07Here's that stick.
19:09Right back on that leg.
19:10This is starting to feel like the first fight
19:14where he just kept shooting on him
19:16because what you see now,
19:18when Piotr has time to work
19:20and he can get offensive,
19:22he's too dangerous.
19:25And you're right,
19:26Champion has sort of been rendered defensive here
19:29midway through round three.
19:30Yon pressing forward with mouth open.
19:43Yon is starting to slow down just a little.
19:47And he can't.
19:48He's got to keep going,
19:49at least through this round,
19:50to win this round.
19:51If so many believe he's up 2-0,
19:54he's got to find a way to win round three.
19:57Nice brawl there by Piotr Yon.
20:01Piotr needs to break here.
20:02He's got to knee him.
20:10Oh, nice.
20:16Dwellish really leads into the clinch with a shoulder.
20:20Oh, good right hand by Yon.
20:23He's got to keep that jab in his face.
20:26Right there.
20:30He can't let Mirab lead.
20:33Oh, nice jab there by Yon.
20:36Another shot by Mirab.
20:39Yeah, not a great entry there.
20:45Oh, good shot to the body by the champ.
20:47Yon missed on a couple of shots inside there.
21:01This is such a crazy pace.
21:03It's a crazy pace.
21:04The body by Piotr and a left hand as well.
21:08And Piotr's fighting a good pace himself.
21:10Very good pace.
21:12He's just,
21:12now he's starting to shoot for no reason.
21:14I don't know that he's got the energy
21:15to keep shooting and wrestling with Mirab.
21:18But this is like,
21:19people are scoring rounds for Piotr
21:20and ignoring these actions here.
21:22Right.
21:23When Mirab's going forward
21:24and just kind of hitting him.
21:25Oh.
21:25Oh, he hurt him to the body.
21:29He hurt him bad.
21:30He hurt him bad.
21:31Shot O'Malley late in their fight.
21:33That's here.
21:35Oh, and now a right hand from Yon.
21:45Wow.
21:45Look at the face of Mirab Kovabishwili.
21:49He has busted up.
21:51And we've seen him hurt
21:52multiple times in this fight now.
21:57Beautiful takedown here by Piotr.
21:58Yon puts him down.
22:00Mirab carries him around the octagon.
22:02Puts him down.
22:03But Piotr got right back up to his feet
22:05when he got taken down.
22:07And when you take into consideration
22:09the damage,
22:11you've got to think that Piotr Yon
22:12has an advantage.
22:13Oh.
22:14Oh, right on the lever.
22:17Mirab goes, ah!
22:19Let's hear it.
22:25I mean, he yelled out in pain.
22:27Only Mirab would have that reaction
22:29inside the fight.
22:31I mean, it's right to the lips.
22:32We're up three.
22:34We're up three in Minnesota.
22:35Here we go.
22:36This is a tremendous fight.
22:38It's a close fight.
22:39He's not standing in front of him.
22:40Open score would be something right now.
22:42It would be very nice.
22:43Open scoring would be amazing right now.
22:45And I think we should have that anyway.
22:48Round four.
22:49Yon certainly showing some signs of fatigue
22:52late round three.
22:54But man,
22:56has he come to play tonight.
22:58Championship rounds for the Vantamoy title.
23:00Yes, he did.
23:01Yes, he did.
23:01He said he would be better tonight.
23:03He has been better.
23:04He has been better.
23:05Beautiful low kick by Yon.
23:18It's when Piotr goes southpaw.
23:20He throws that beautiful body kick.
23:27He can throw it as a switch kick,
23:29but it's not as good
23:30as when he throws it from the southpaw position.
23:35Good start to the round for the champ.
23:37Mirab is just such a master
23:38at getting you to be defensive
23:40and then immediately attacking the legs.
23:42That's been the way he's now to start it.
23:44Nice switch there by Piotr.
23:46He's going to lift him again, guys.
23:48He's going to lift Garab here.
23:49Garab, keep your weight down.
23:51He can't lift.
23:53He can't lift.
23:54He took him down.
23:55Look at this.
23:57Garab took a guillotine.
24:00Garab's got the guillotine in.
24:01It's hard to see how locked in it is.
24:05It looks tight.
24:06It looks very tight.
24:07He's trying to avoid that hook.
24:09Look at that.
24:10He's doing an expert job
24:11of shaking off that left leg,
24:12but it's back on there.
24:15Yon keeps on trying to clear that left leg.
24:19Nice job up here.
24:21Yon on top.
24:22Look at this.
24:24A lot of energy expended
24:25by Wallace Willey there.
24:26By both fighters.
24:27Yeah.
24:29But neither one of them
24:30have been able to control
24:31so much from the top.
24:33This is an amazing fight.
24:34It is an amazing fight.
24:39Nice knee to the body by Piotr.
24:44Jab is there for Yon
24:45after the body kick
24:46from Wallace Willey.
24:47Constant pressure by Piotr Yon.
24:49This is where Murat
24:50needs to watch for the body kick.
24:51Yes.
24:52Piotr needs to throw it.
24:53Top ball position.
24:59Well, the year began.
25:00Dvalas Willey and Nurmagomedov
25:02in a Bantamweight Classic.
25:03This one right alongside
25:06through three-plus rounds.
25:16Look at that, Murat.
25:18That speed of it.
25:19It's going right back to the legs.
25:22But look at Piotr.
25:23Nice left hand.
25:24Piotr's takedown defense
25:25is so good tonight.
25:26On point.
25:29But Murat is relentless with it.
25:32Well, I think because he has to worry
25:33so much about defending the takedowns,
25:35that's why Murat's getting all the entries.
25:37But when it comes to the stand-up,
25:39Piotr Yon has been the one
25:40who's been consistently doing the damage.
25:42And fights are scored on damage.
25:48Body kick coming.
25:50The shape you have got to be in
25:52to perform a fight like this
25:54in a fight like this is insane.
25:58Got to think that translates.
25:59Oh, good right hand by Piotr.
26:01Oh, I think he heard him again.
26:02He heard him.
26:03He's totally circling.
26:04Oh, another body kick.
26:05Oh, Murat's in trouble.
26:06Oh, Murat is all over him.
26:13Dwellish Willie staying focused
26:15in the face of adversity,
26:16maintaining his own offense.
26:20This is a stellar performance by Piotr.
26:22Yes, it is.
26:24Look at that.
26:25Body kick again.
26:27Punishing Murat.
26:28And look at that.
26:37On the live line,
26:39Yon now a near 4-1 favorite.
26:42That's crazy.
26:43Yes, it's crazy when the fight's been as close as the event.
26:48Yes, we get to watch and enjoy it.
26:52Good takedown defense by Piotr Yon.
26:54Look at that.
26:54Massive lift up to the body.
26:56Massive lift to the body.
26:57Those body shots are killing Murat.
27:03And that jab as well.
27:04It stops him when he's trying to enter for the takedown.
27:07And that's that boxing of Piotr Yon.
27:10When he gets to work,
27:13Piotr Yon's hands are so crisp.
27:17Some serious big right hand.
27:20Oh.
27:22He's cut now over the right eye as well.
27:24Oh.
27:26Wow.
27:26Piotr Yon is so vicious.
27:34Yon back to work with the jab.
27:37Wayward shot from Tualis Willi.
27:41Yon exuding championship form tonight.
27:44He looks better than he's ever looked.
27:46Yes, he is.
27:48In this most important fight of his life.
27:5020 minutes down, five or fewer to go.
28:00Wow.
28:04Piotr Yon has solved the puzzle.
28:05Aljamain Sterling is very concerned in the corner of Piotr Yon.
28:11He's telling him to take out his mouthpiece.
28:13Put that ice on him.
28:15Hey.
28:19Yes, body punch.
28:20Body punch.
28:21Body punch.
28:22Listen, Murat.
28:23This is the last round.
28:24This is the last round.
28:25You push him back.
28:26You go forward.
28:26I don't give a shit.
28:27You grind him on the cage.
28:28But you keep him on his heels.
28:30We cannot stand there and trade.
28:31He's throwing on big shots looking for the Hail Mary.
28:33All right?
28:34You need this fucking...
28:34You understand?
28:37You understand?
28:38Everything.
28:40Just come out there and go to war.
28:42Just go get in the fight, bro.
28:44You don't have to wrestle him.
28:46If you're pushing him, just don't wait there.
28:48Just attack him.
28:50Just come out there and kick the shit out of him.
28:59Wow.
29:00Fifth and final round.
29:02I just got a text from someone who suggested to me
29:05that maybe Murat's jaw might be potentially compromised.
29:12And that's somebody in this building.
29:15Five minutes to the side.
29:16The Bantamweight Championship of the World.
29:18Look at Jan.
29:18Jan's bouncing around before the start of the round.
29:20Excited.
29:22This corner said, hey, when you back him up,
29:24just go to work.
29:25Get into a fight.
29:27I like those sidekicks to the legs.
29:29And now Jermaine Sterling said to Murat,
29:33he's killed in your body.
29:34His is open two.
29:36Go attack it.
29:36He's backing up the whole way.
29:38So, so, so.
29:38Be on that jail.
29:39Stay in his face.
29:40The adjustments Fiori on me between fight one and fight two
29:44is crazy.
29:45He looks so much better tonight.
29:47And so much better prepared for the game of Murat.
29:51We talked about feeling it before
29:53and how important it would be
29:55to try to beat Murat.
29:57And maybe even more importantly,
29:58his conditioning is supreme.
30:00Yes.
30:01He's able to keep this insane pace.
30:03Yep.
30:03Beautiful inside low kick.
30:05He's the first guy that hasn't wilted
30:07to the pressure of Murat so far.
30:08He's also healthier than he was back then.
30:12Good left hand over the top by Jan.
30:19Another hook to the body.
30:20Right on the belt.
30:21Every time he hits Murat to the body,
30:23Murat reacts.
30:23More of the depression,
30:24but I'm going to do it.
30:25It's not fun.
30:28Dvalishwil, he missed it a lot more than he was earlier
30:30in the fight.
30:31Landed in another.
30:31Oh, right hand by Piotr.
30:33He's done it.
30:34He's done it.
30:34He's done it.
30:34He's done it.
30:34He's done it.
30:35He's done it.
30:35He's done it.
30:35He's done it.
30:35He's done it.
30:36He's done it.
30:37He's done it.
30:37He's done it.
30:38Oh, jab from Jan.
30:45Dvalishwil, two for 25,
30:48unofficially on the takedowns.
30:56And Piotr Jan has been successfully
30:58been able to move Murat back.
31:00More than anyone we've seen
31:01move him backwards.
31:02And that's because he was able
31:04to hurt him with his hands
31:05very early.
31:06Oh.
31:08Three minutes to go.
31:21Murat is being forced to stand
31:24in front of Piotr Jan here
31:25because his takedowns haven't been
31:27as effective as they have been
31:29in previous fights.
31:31Oh, he's deep on him now.
31:32But Jan just rushes to the fence
31:34very smartly,
31:35uses the fence as a barrier,
31:37and he stays upright.
31:40Phenomenal takedown defense.
31:42Needed the body from Dvalishwil,
31:43but unable to get the level changed.
31:46Sorry, John.
31:46And then when he does defend
31:48the takedown and he gets away,
31:49he immediately tries to go forward
31:51and get Murat going backwards.
31:54Oh.
31:55Looked like an elbow might have
31:56gotten through for the champ.
31:57Look at all the blood
31:58on Jan's back.
32:00It's crazy.
32:01That's all from Dvalishwil's face.
32:03That's all from Dvalishwil's face.
32:11Yeah, it looked like that elbow
32:17might have cut Jan,
32:18or it could be Dvalishwil's blood.
32:20No, it's Dvalishwil's blood.
32:24Right hand is there for Jan.
32:28Tremendous takedown defense by Piotr.
32:31All fight.
32:33Rob's trying to guillotine him
32:34in the fifth round.
32:38Jan takes him down.
32:42Jan's on top.
32:44Look at this.
32:45Incredible.
32:54Knee to the body by Jan.
32:55Right hand.
33:01What a fight.
33:02This has been a great fight.
33:04Amazing fight.
33:06Oh, another kick to the body.
33:08He hurt him again.
33:09Every time he hits him in the body,
33:11he hurts him.
33:11And Marat reacts
33:13in a very weird way.
33:14Well, because he's kicking him
33:15in the liver.
33:16Yeah, but he just keeps screaming
33:17like you've got to try to hide it.
33:19Oh.
33:20You have to try to hide it.
33:22Under a minute to go,
33:23Piotr Jan
33:24trying to regain the throne.
33:29Nice knee there by Jan too.
33:32Jan looks up at the clock.
33:34I mean, Piotr Jan is fighting
33:35the best fight we've ever seen.
33:37Body shot again.
33:38Forward again.
33:40Forward again.
33:41Piotr Jan.
33:41Keep going.
33:42Keep going.
33:42Keep going.
33:42Keep going.
33:43Keep going.
33:44Keep going.
33:44Keep going.
33:45Keep going.
33:46Keep going.
33:50Piotr Jan to the body.
33:52Jan's looking for that
33:53left kick again.
33:55Yes, he is.
33:56Everybody's going to be
33:57going to Marat's body.
33:58Oh.
33:59Forward.
33:59Forward.
34:04Oh.
34:05Oh.
34:06What a capstone
34:07for Piotr Jan.
34:09His fifth takedown
34:13of the champ,
34:14Dwellish Willi.
34:17Wow.
34:17What a fight.
34:20What a fight.
34:21Wow.
34:22I think Jan did it.
34:24Yes.
34:24What a performance
34:26from the Russian,
34:27Piotr Jan,
34:28trying to end
34:30the Dwellish Willi ring.
34:31Wow.
34:32Wow.
34:32Wow.
34:36Wow.
34:37What a fight.
34:38What a tremendous fight.
34:41Yes.
34:41We got to see
34:42Marat not able to get
34:44takedown to show
34:45his heart and spirit
34:46determination.
34:47And we saw Piotr Jan
34:48level up.
34:50Level up in a huge way.
34:52And maintain the pace,
34:54which most people
34:55thought was impossible.
34:56Yes.
34:56Most people thought
34:57nobody could keep up
34:58with that pace,
34:59but Piotr Jan kept
35:00hurting him.
35:02And I think that was
35:02a giant factor
35:03in this fight.
35:04Well, you saw Marat
35:04start to fatigue.
35:05And how can you not?
35:06Because all those
35:06body shots.
35:07You hit that bad.
35:08But it's also
35:08taking into consideration
35:09the amount of damage
35:10that Piotr Jan was
35:11doing to Marat.
35:13Crazy fight.
35:14Certainly some close
35:17rounds in there,
35:18especially early.
35:20But Piotr Jan with a
35:23masterpiece in a lot
35:23of respects.
35:24Yes.
35:25Beautiful double leg
35:26here by Piotr Jan.
35:27Takes down Marat
35:28Wallace-Willi early.
35:30Nice right hand
35:31landed by the challenger.
35:33Then another takedown
35:34by Piotr Jan.
35:36The body kicks.
35:37The body kicks
35:38down the stretch
35:39with a story.
35:40They were really
35:41taking a toll on Marat.
35:42Then there were
35:43some punches to the
35:44body too that hurt
35:46Marat.
35:47Knee by Jan.
35:48That right hand
35:49over the top
35:50clip Marat on the
35:50temple.
35:51Look at this body
35:52shot.
35:53Boom.
35:54Another big reaction
35:55from D'Wallis-Willi.
35:58Head kick by Jan.
36:00I mean, these clips
36:01make it seem like
36:02Marat landed nothing.
36:03Right.
36:03But that was not
36:04the case, guys.
36:05I promise you,
36:05watching this at home,
36:07Marat Wallace-Willi
36:08had many moments
36:08in this fight.
36:09But Piotr Jan fought
36:10a great fight tonight.
36:11D'Wallis-Willi landed
36:1335% of his
36:15significant strikes.
36:16Piotr Jan landed
36:1756% of his
36:18significant strikes.
36:19But you're right.
36:20D'Wallis-Willi did
36:21land more.
36:23147 to 132.
36:25But Piotr Jan was
36:26ready for prime time
36:27tonight.
36:28Yes, he was.
36:28Added muscle.
36:29The conditioning
36:30had to hit that
36:32requisite next level.
36:34And it did.
36:34And he is an
36:38otherworldly striker.
36:40That was a crazy fight.
36:41All right.
