00:00Yeah, but Shem is fired up here.
00:03As I say, he's had a chip on his shoulder all week.
00:06Very annoyed at the performance back in Qatar.
00:10Got clipped there though with a little left hook.
00:13Yeah, and that's what you'll see from El Suati, right?
00:15He'll dip down low, he'll fake those shots and then come over top with big punches.
00:20And there again, Ryan's a nice right hand.
00:22Shem was looking for the tight clinch.
00:24He wants to drive his knee right in his face.
00:26He's got to be careful reaching out for him.
00:28Correct.
00:29Shem's been taking a leaf out of Michael, the Count Bisping's book and the build-up to this one.
00:34He's been really trying to do the marketing, getting people interested, but not a bite back from Asselwadi.
00:40He was grateful for all of the build-up, but he said he just wanted to focus on things.
00:46Would you be talking about the best-selling Quitters Never Will?
00:51Still available if you really, really look for it online.
00:56There you go.
00:58Shem had some interesting things on his bios, you know?
01:00They get asked about their opponents.
01:01Je ne sais pas si vous l'avez vu le second page.
01:04Vous ne pouvez pas même dire ça en air, peut-être ?
01:06Je pense que le mot n'est pas politiquement correcte.
01:10Il n'est pas un petit peu plus.
01:12Il n'est pas un petit peu plus.
01:13Oh, il n'est pas un clic là.
01:15Shem walks on to her right hand.
01:20C'est parti, Michael.
01:22Non, non, non, non, non.
01:23Je vais juste dire, dans le premier match,
01:25Shemron expected a lot more wrestling.
01:28Et encore, ici, avec quelqu'un qui a très bien wrestling.
01:30Il n'est pas un petit peu plus.
01:32Il n'est pas un petit peu plus.
01:35Il n'est pas un petit peu plus.
01:36Shem's clearly got the height
01:37and the reach advantage.
01:39I'd like some more straight shots.
01:41I'll support it with a nice little combo again there in time.
01:46Oh!
01:46There we go.
01:47That's a nice head kick from Shem.
01:50Got to be carried away.
01:52Yeah, Shem, Shem Rock's gotta be careful.
01:53His defense is very relaxed when he's in there,
01:56which is good when you're calm,
01:58under fire, but you don't want to be taking big shots.
02:00He's gotta get his hands up.
02:01When you're facing these shorter opponents,
02:04especially somebody like Alsawadi,
02:05who's short but strong and powerful.
02:08Yeah, he's stuck in.
02:09Got that Mike Tyson style where it just dips in,
02:11comes over, big hooks, rolls through.
02:14And Shem told us,
02:16he knew the overhand right was coming.
02:18Well, he's eating it.
02:19He wasn't wrong.
02:25Yeah, he rocked him with that head kick,
02:27got a little overexcited.
02:31You gotta be defensively sound when you're rushing
02:33and trying to finish as well.
02:36Oh!
02:37That's a nice kick there by Asawadi.
02:39To the face.
02:40Must have been watching Chanel Dyer in the last fight.
02:44A lot of lateral movement from Asawadi.
02:48He's had a more complicated training camp
02:50doing it through Ramadan.
02:52Asawadi's looking really good here.
02:54Close the distance nicely, landed a couple of shots.
02:57And again there.
02:58Shem's gotta get some respect.
03:01He's gonna land something big.
03:02Let Asawadi know that he cannot rush in like that.
03:07It's been a couple of years since Asawadi
03:10has been able to get his hands on someone in the octagon.
03:13And you can just tell he has been chomping at the bits.
03:15There is a good left from Shem.
03:17And you're right, John, to your point, two years away.
03:20If you're a dedicated mixed martial artist,
03:22you can improve dramatically.
03:25And so far, he looks like he's done just that.
03:28Good team around him.
03:2947 in Maine, Texas.
03:31Safe Saud.
03:32Tremendous coach.
03:33Very experienced.
03:38Asawadi's switching stance is looking smooth on the feet.
03:41Has it even thought about a takedown?
03:43No, not at all.
03:44And I think, you know, again, Shem Rock in that last fight
03:47was thrown off by that kind of welcoming the grappling exchanges.
03:51And he's not getting it.
03:52He's getting a whole lot of punches through the head right now.
03:54Well, Asawadi's probably done his homework.
03:55If you watch, Shem, as I said, coming from that gym, next-gen,
03:59very, very good grappling pedigree.
04:01He's good on the ground.
04:02Lots of submissions.
04:05And right now, if you're connecting the way that Asawadi is,
04:08there's no need to shoot for a takedown now.
04:14But that straight leg from Shem a moment ago.
04:17That was a nice shot.
04:19Used that to set up the head kicks.
04:21Again.
04:23The count-out from Asawadi.
04:25Good hits from Shem Rock.
04:2825 seconds.
04:29As soon as he started with the grappling, Shem immediately reversed.
04:32Now he's got a huge opportunity here, but with little time, you're right, Michael.
04:3620 seconds.
04:37He's gonna get some elbows off here.
04:38Make it count, do some damage.
04:40Try and steal this round.
04:45Nose of Shem Rock is leaking.
04:49Oh, he hits an up kick.
04:51Gets past though.
04:52Back in the head.
04:52Back in the head.
04:55Lamp.
04:55Lamp.
04:55Let's just punch each other in the face.
04:57Round number two.
05:01Good opening round from Asawadi.
05:03Especially for a fighter who's been on the sidelines for a couple of years.
05:09Well certainly, I mean, you're gonna think he took the first round, but Shem still very much in this fight.
05:14Ended round one in a good position on top, so.
05:18Let's see what he does here.
05:22Je me souviens à ce que ça veut dire à l'assassade, parce que l'assassade était inefficace contre le
05:28strong hit et reversal.
05:29Il a fait ça, il a été ennant. Il a été ennant sur le bottom.
05:33Donc je pense qu'il va voir que ça, ok, où est-ce que je suis ennant la success?
05:36Il a été ennant la partie. Je suis ennant la partie de la partie. Je suis ennant la partie.
05:40Et il a été ennant la partie. Donc c'est un bon idée, juste pour tester.
05:44Et si il n'y a pas de 20 secondes, il y a pas de 20 secondes.
05:47Il a déjà un autre right-hand.
05:49il sawati and he has some nice subtle stance switches too and he's always
05:54thinking so he's always just pumping that level change that's a nice
05:57combination stepping through pull he punches his way in a lot of pressure on
06:02shamrock sheds getting clipped here over and over see the damage building up
06:08now some what he just growing in confidence now he stays busy puts combos
06:13together rock just has to really try to get more going right he sits on the
06:19outside he will land some big shots he's landed that head kick he landed a good
06:22straight left now he's got the body like this could be a great moment here for
06:27shemrock he's got to try to hold on to this this is actually what shem wants so
06:32let's see how this plays out here because very close he wants the back yes he's a
06:38very good back taker he's got a lot of a lot of options from there when you look
06:42down his record six rear naked choke wins a python trap whatever that might be
06:48maybe we'll find out
06:52oh good name it's eight i have eight rear naked jokes
07:08i think double the double the shots more than
07:12double unofficially landed so far in this fight for asalwadi the busier fighter
07:19well shem's gonna try and go first
07:24he's looking to counter but he needs to try and just put it on
07:29asalwadi take some chances beat first put combinations together throw the jab the right
07:34hand after it bring the head kick up then
07:43but he's taking some decent shots
07:47oh that's nice oh that's nice oh that's go go gadget legs got through
07:51and now he's looking he's looking to counter down the middle as al sawati is doing these combos
07:56and again it's been a frantic pace for al sawati with a lot of combos we're in the second round
08:02now there's a chance he starts to slow there's a big right hand
08:08she hasn't had more success now though landed a couple of times there
08:11little uppercut at the end of that sequence
08:16is this because the lateral movement is slowing down a little bit from asalwadi perhaps
08:21standing in front of him just a little longer than he was in the first round and we see that
08:24with guys that have a ton of movement
08:27constantly moving around the octagon as the fight goes on you've really got to get used to fighting like that
08:32constantly
08:33because then you give shemrock a chance to start to find those openings even if you hit him with the
08:38combo
08:39if your movement starts to slow down and you don't get out of the way as quick then you're there
08:42for the counter
08:43get your frankie edgar on yeah get your movement going get your frankie on start rolling around on there
08:59last position though failed to control it
09:03off center
09:04off center a goal
09:10good idea from shemrock that's nice
09:12that's a good combo there from shemrock
09:14that's what he needs more of that
09:19that's what he's definitely slowed down in this round though
09:22nothing hard everything's fast 30 seconds left side flank left left
09:29you hear a safe side screaming from him
09:31screaming
09:33touch touch lane 33
09:35keep the face together
09:36look like they've got one of those code systems that is difficult to decipher
09:40off center
09:42left left left
09:44oh that's a good shot
09:45that was nice
09:46both having success as we count down the final seconds of round number two
09:51we're going to stay with the fighters we're going to go back into the red corner of shemrock
09:59this is not the ultimate defending championships
10:05yeah
10:05yeah he was a little fired up i mean obviously he is down two rounds if he loses this fight
10:11you know it doesn't look good for his future
10:13so he's just trying to motivate him on the flip side safe so very nice and calm
10:18but that's fine because he's winning the fight he's doing what he trained for and according to paul river
10:23he's like what are you doing please go first be aggressive look to take him down do what you've spent
10:30the last two months training to do
10:32yeah drastically different energies in both of those corners but also exactly what either fighter needs for al sawati
10:40very specific on how they're going to win this fight what they need to do in round three they don't
10:45want any wrestling
10:45although we did already just see al sawati try to initiate some grappling which is not a good sign for
10:51him i think that's showing he's going to his instincts which means he could be getting fatigued here
10:55but for shemrock again hey what are you doing it's not a showboating contest out here you've got to get
11:02after you've got the skills you just got to get busier
11:09there's an opportunity now he's kind of got him backed up he's close to the fence throw a combination shoot
11:15him with a double leg
11:17nice
11:18slick little head kick out from shemrock
11:20yeah shem's got some real good skills i mean you can see it
11:23he's touched on lovely kicks he's got quick hands good reflexes talented on the ground
11:29and i think for shemrock throwing these big kicks giving opportunities to al sawati to be tempted to grab ahold
11:36of it maybe get close to you take you down
11:38i think ultimately at the end of the day that's only going to help somebody like shemrock right now
11:45so i'd be just going reckless with those kicks big head kicks big body kicks inside leg kicks
11:51i think there's a bit of fatigue on the side of shem as well shemrock i was about to say
11:56how much more
11:57mobile asawadi looks in this final round he's certainly on getting that sideways movement going again
12:04and he's moving to his left and staying away from that left hand of shemrock
12:12shem's just got to go again
12:14throws a combination and it kind of takes a few seconds off
12:19you know if you miss with the combination that's fine throw another one you're still in range
12:26caught asawadi in no man's land there with the kick
12:31oh that's a good knee and a big reaction from asawadi
12:38stabs him in the stomach
12:40he does that well that front kick to the body we saw that in his debut
13:07shem's gonna use the hands to set up those head kicks
13:10get him reacting to a couple of shots first and then throw it up
13:13with some nasty intentions
13:16he's kind of flicking it up at range at the moment
13:20whereas asawadi is leading with the power hand
13:24doing a lot of damage to the nose of rock
13:26and that's good for asawadi especially when he's out of the orthodox stance
13:30that straight right is the best weapon that he can be throwing against the southpaw
13:47is
13:51yes shemrock he's got to find the finish here 60 seconds to do it
13:56he's gonna enter the taxi there's a shot and he gets it
13:59but why would i just i'm curious why he waited this long to even try
14:03nice work from asawadi just dumps him straight off the back
14:07yeah they were heavy shots as well
14:11the fortis mma corner of asawadi just barking
14:14about discipline and keep moving to your left
14:22their man is listening very well tonight
14:27as he's put together a very disciplined performance
14:35to your point paul's just look like he's coming out with a good strategy against opposing fight stances
14:39yeah absolutely and he will switch every now and then he's gone in the southpaw
14:43and he feels like there's an opportunity there
14:45yeah also what he's fought a really good fight as you mentioned the stance switches
14:49that's really throwing off shemrock
14:51as soon as you switch stances all your combinations and attacks change
14:55so that just kind of like causes you to mentally hesitate
14:59and there's some really good shots early shem's had a few more
