00:00The main event of the year
00:04Judges scoring this contest of Octagon Cidars
00:07Ben Cartlis, Saudi, Mark Goddard
00:12And all for those in attendance at U.S.
00:16You've all been waiting for
00:20Sydney, Australia
00:24It's high
00:28UFC featherweight
00:32Out of the blue corner
00:34A big martial artist holding professional
00:36Weighing in at 145 pounds
00:40Presenting the number 2 ranked
00:42UFC featherweight
00:44Diego
00:46Long
00:48opponent
00:49Fighting out of the red corner
00:525 feet 6 inches tall
00:54Weighing in at 140
00:56Australia
00:58Presenting
01:00The UFC
01:02Featherweight Champion
01:04Of the World
01:06Volkanovski
01:12Full throatedly I think
01:1416,000 of these people just joined
01:16Volkanovski has won 7
01:18Featherweight title fights
01:20For Diego Lopez in the rematch
01:22Volkanovski
01:26Let's see how quickly Lopez
01:28Gets Volkanovski as the fight goes on
01:30You will see a lot of feints
01:32All the stunt switches
01:34All the footwork, all the movement, all the feints
01:36With some really nice uppercuts
01:38That first fight
01:39To hurt Volkanovski
01:40See to get him going backwards
01:44Lopez does need to cut the cage off
01:46And try and back Volkanovski
01:50Good low kick
01:52Drubbing his throat the whole time
01:54It was very odd
01:56So you'll probably see it again
01:58Take the nice right hand
02:00Defending and turning that right back into his offense
02:02With that nice right hand
02:04The Diego Lopez corner to our immediate right
02:08To becoming a better mixed martial artist in all areas
02:11He always
02:12Can't be anymore
02:13When you're training in the room with the greatest wrestling program
02:16How many guys are willing to go wrestle in Stillwater, Oklahoma for a month every training?
02:20Because it is an unusual movement
02:26Lopez playing with that southpaw
02:28And when he chose to close the distance
02:33Two three powerful punches
02:35And then
02:36Right here is what
02:38This is why you don't want to be with Volkanovski
02:40In terms of his fight mind
02:42Is as good as anyone in the year
02:44With a lot of leg kicks
02:46Inside leg kick, outside leg kick
02:48But he's got his hands locked around the body here
02:50Good defense though by Diego
02:54Very good defense
02:56I don't think
02:58Because
02:59Very very competitive first round
03:00Physically strong
03:02For this division
03:03And yes DC
03:04Just one take
03:05He's off the guy, steps up
03:06Steps back
03:09Well it's the moment
03:10You know
03:11Fighting for the tie
03:12The jab that followed
03:15The Evolve
03:16Looking very
03:17The striker right
03:18Tries to walk you down
03:19And get going
03:22Nice kick there
03:23Cause just boxing Volk
03:27It's almost like chasing your own tail
03:32I have to respect the state
03:33Don't rush
03:34Don't rush more things
03:35It's working
03:37He doesn't know what to do on the power side
03:39When he goes southpaw
03:42He'll switch southpaw
03:43And still
03:44Kofsky to circle off to his left
03:45Ski off to his right
03:46Diego Lopez is
03:48More
03:49For intimidating to Volk
03:50He landed a good right hand in there
03:52Yeah got
03:53Yeah got
03:54Volk
03:55Volk needs to go inside with those kicks now if he wants
04:00Nice footwork from Lopez
04:01Cutting off the cage
04:03Lopez cooking off the cage
04:05There by Lopez
04:06That was
04:11That was a fight that was very
04:12That was our
04:17Oh
04:18Land a shot in counter
04:19Yeah Diego's on the attack
04:21Yeah Volk
04:22Lopez ate it well
04:23And continues to stalk his prey
04:25Lopez
04:26From hitting him hard
04:27Because then
04:28He comes hard
04:29Then he starts
04:34Every time on the end of the combination
04:36From Volkanovski
04:37Round off
04:38Oh
04:39Nice left hook right here
04:40Yeah one two gets through
04:4440 seconds to go on the round
04:45I was just going to attempt here
04:4830 seconds on the clock
04:54Having a blast
04:55Inlock Diego straight on the back
05:01And that is how round
05:03Volk
05:06Volk really found himself out of position
05:08Which he doesn't do much
05:14She had a good job of always being
05:15Kicking rage
05:16Yep
05:17And the only
05:18His footwork is just so nice
05:20It really is
05:22And felt the sweat
05:23It's that wall
05:24Mike
05:29Mike that was a great
05:30And the moment he decides
05:31To go back to space
05:32And trying to
05:33Oh
05:34Catches Diego
05:35When he's hurt
05:36When he's rocked
05:37When they're exchanging
05:38But they're my
05:39Huge
05:40The champion
05:41Yeah
05:42Land percentage
05:43Starting to increase
05:44For the champ
05:45Two minutes to go
05:46In round three
05:47It's real dangerous
05:52Do you see that Volkanovski
05:57Lopez limited to
05:58And I don't have as much of a problem
06:01With him in this fight
06:02Because
06:03It's a matter of what
06:04He puts on
06:05To
06:06He has to go forward
06:07And be more reckless
06:08Yeah
06:09Well it's only round
06:10This is two
06:11Title shots
06:12Right
06:13Right
06:14He ain't gonna get a third
06:15Oh
06:16Catches him
06:17Right after Volkland
06:18Lopez drops
06:19That's the thing
06:20Right
06:21He can hurt him so easily
06:22If he throws
06:23Oh that was a little
06:24Short right hook
06:25By Lopez
06:26That put the
06:30I mean it's a close round
06:35That's good
06:36That was a good bet around
06:37You gotta come back
06:38You gotta come back
06:39You're good
06:40Don't worry about that
06:41It was a slip
06:42Hey focus on the front
06:43Yeah
06:44Even if you slap that hand across
06:45Yeah
06:46You just step over south
06:47Cause you're doing that
06:48Okay
06:49Come back more
06:50And then come over
06:51Okay
06:52That's what I'm saying
06:53Diego did another one
06:54I mean that one rocked Diego
06:55Yeah
06:56That was a solid shot
06:57Two big
06:58Both of those guys landed
06:59Massive shots
07:00Brought to you by Ram Trucks
07:01Nothing stops Ram
07:02Both fighters
07:03Now it's time for Diego
07:04He's gotta get
07:05He's gotta get creative
07:06He's gotta
07:08Those live odds seem to be swell
07:10And Diego's back forward on the gas
07:13The one thing about
07:14I expect him
07:16To do great work
07:17In this fight
07:18And so close
07:19Diego Lopez
07:21Diego Lopez
07:22Could put two rounds
07:23Volk's giving up on the
07:24The takedown strategy as well
07:26Go nice jab from Volkanovski
07:28Yes
07:290 for 4
07:30On the takedown
07:31Nice right hand from Volk
07:34And instead of throwing it right behind the jab
07:37He lets it stop for a sec
07:39When you throw one two guys kind of move their head right
07:41They move their head off the jab
07:42And then you hit him
07:44And then you hit him
07:45And the two times
07:47Numbers fairly close
07:53Volkanovski lands on the
07:55Again with the footwork state
07:56Very disciplined
07:57Circling to the left
07:58Constantly screaming at him
07:59Yeah
08:00To go in the opposite direction
08:01Yeah
08:02But he's coming
08:03Circling into the power of Diego Lopez
08:05Diego needs to throw more right
08:06Is what he needs to do
08:08Because he's allowing Volk to just circle him
08:10He's talking about
08:11You gotta head a guy off
08:12You make the cage small
08:13And you don't give him those
08:18And you're chasing the guy
08:19But Lopez is having a much better round this round
08:27The visual is
08:28Him always in pursuit of Alexander Volkanovski
08:31And he's got that right hand cocked
08:32Ready to unload
08:33You're actually right
08:36Alex
08:37Alex
08:38There
08:43Away from your corner
08:44Good man
08:45Thank you
08:46Sorry brother
08:50They all rise
08:51Answer the imperatives of his corner
08:53And move forward
08:54With reckless
08:55His corner recognizes
08:56They're up against it
08:57Right
08:58They're watching the fight
08:59To win this fight
09:03Hurry himself up
09:04The thing is
09:06The thing is
09:07When you can't track down your opponent
09:09When he's moving like Volkanovski is
09:10But then
09:11Volk's just controlling it
09:12Again
09:13With the feet
09:14I thought the first fight
09:15Not slowed down
09:16Yeah not slowed down
09:18Francisco Grasso
09:19Oh nice
09:20Nice
09:21Oh guillotine
09:22The tip
09:23Brown using the feet
09:24Oh nice knee there
09:25By Diego
09:26Diego is very aggressive going forward
09:30But man
09:31The lateral movement of Volk
09:33And now
09:34Nice take down
09:35Kind of ride him here
09:36Yeah
09:37He won't jump on his back
09:38He understands that
09:39Ralphie there at this point
09:40You did hear Joe Lopez though
09:41Talk about maybe some wrestling around
09:43Diego's doing a good job of digging that underhood
09:46He gets to a body
09:49Diego gets it
09:50Beautiful take down there by Diego
09:52He will take the buck
09:53He has to take the buck
09:54Yes
09:55Needs a finish here
09:56Back to the fence
10:04He's so mad
10:06Incredible
10:08Kimora
10:09That's that from Diego
10:10Diego can use his kimora to do
10:12Just
10:13Now this Michael
10:14Yep
10:16Very
10:17Why don't you put your knee right in the face
10:19When defending this
10:20There it is
10:21Two slices
10:22Round 5
10:23No chance
10:24Absolutely deafening
10:25Down the stretch we come
10:30Diego has got to try to get Volcanowski
10:32There's not a lot Diego to do
10:33He's got to get the leg through
10:35Which he has
10:36Another vintage performance
10:38From the 37 year old
10:41Technical brilliance
10:43To the wall
10:44By the future hall of famer
10:47Sydney's own
10:48All right back live in Sydney here at UFC 325
10:50Yeah man it's the best
10:51I almost had my moment in Perl
11:07I almost had my moment in Perl
