00:00C'est parti, c'est parti.
00:30And I've watched him train in Mexico City, and I'll tell you, he's got very good takedown defense like you're
00:35seeing here.
00:35But this is what you know that Levitt's really crafty from the guard.
00:40He's got a plan to say, screw it.
00:42Let's see if I can sweep him from here instead of force the takedown.
00:52Levitt's very active already with the guard.
00:54And what he's doing, he's trying to change the base and the balance.
00:58Oh, he's looking for a beat.
00:59He's fishing him for that guillotine.
01:01And by getting his legs involved, that's what's setting up the guillotine.
01:04It's getting close already.
01:05I mean, he's looking now.
01:06He rolls over.
01:07And he's got the leg locked, so now he's locked in.
01:09Because that leg is locked, Britu's going to have a tough time getting up.
01:12That was a great transition.
01:13And that's what I was saying.
01:15Instead of going for the takedown, he's using his guard to sweep and create the takedown.
01:20Now, Britu got back to his feet, but that's the tactic that you're seeing out of Levitt rather than the
01:24regular conventional takedown.
01:26He just went to guard and used the sweep method.
01:28It was nice.
01:28And when I talked to Jordan Levitt when he was making his 145 debut here in the UFC in his
01:34last fight, he talked about how now I feel like I'm one of the stronger guys in there.
01:39At 155, he had to rely on being tricky, right?
01:42Using more technique.
01:43Now he can combine that technique that he's got in the skills with being pretty damn strong at 145.
01:49And when you're in the UFC, you need every advantage you can get, as you know, Paul.
01:53So this is why I never understood why people don't take this advantage the second you have it.
01:57You need every advantage in this sport.
02:00If he feels stronger at 45, I would agree.
02:02Like, once you get to your right weight class, you should feel strong.
02:06Nearly a trip as he locked up the leg of Britu, but Britu just able to play the defense.
02:11This is Jordan Levitt's fight so far.
02:13This is the pace and the style that we're used to.
02:16Britu said, we know what he wants to do.
02:17We know what I want to do.
02:18And he wanted to make it his style fight.
02:20He's got a chance at it now.
02:22He's just going to be all over Britu.
02:24It's a nice double.
02:25Good timing.
02:26And it's a lot of energy that we're seeing out of Levitt right now.
02:29And I'm telling you, Britu's just got to weather this storm.
02:31And he's planning to weather this storm early and hope that Levitt slows down a little.
02:36And then he can start hitting them with the big shots.
02:38And we saw a bit of this in Britu's last fight against Isaac Thompson, right?
02:41He had some good takedowns.
02:43And then ultimately, as the fight went on and he started to wear Thompson down a bit,
02:47it was Britu that was getting some big slams and big takedowns.
02:57But Levitt just giving no space to Britu, knowing how dangerous he is on the feet,
03:02how powerful he is as a striker.
03:14I'll be grabbing your glove, too, man.
03:16Well, the other thing for Levitt is this particular position doesn't take a ton of energy from the over-under.
03:22It's when you're down on the hips and you're going up and down, up and down.
03:25That takes a lot of energy.
03:26But Levitt's just looking strong right now.
03:29And again, when you're looking strong, it's because you are using energy, though.
03:32So we'll see how, after this first round, how he weathers this at this new weight class as well.
03:44Now, let's see if he can separate or just get enough space to start to do damage.
03:52Because this is fine for Levitt.
03:54If you reverse him, but he's still got the clinch, he's still tying up with you, he's going to be
03:58okay there.
03:59This is where you've got to start to get to work with your Britu.
04:03Don't get too crazy.
04:06Big right hand for Joe Anderson, Britu, and that's strange.
04:14He's getting wild.
04:17Yeah, see, this is what I mean by when Britu makes it up.
04:20Oh, he's got the neck!
04:21Got his own submission attack.
04:22That's a ninja choke.
04:23Oh, it's underneath the chin.
04:25That's very deep.
04:26We'll see if Jordan can defend it.
04:28Oh, he got it.
04:29And it's the top!
04:30Joe Anderson Britu turns the tables on the grappling attack of Jordan Levitt.
04:39And how do you do?
04:41Well, we've seen that before, so we'll just say the second time we've seen that.
04:46Yep.
04:47Okay.
04:48Not the first, so I'm not completely shocked anymore.
04:51Well, Derek Lewis is getting...
