00:51Introducing, folks, fighting out of the corner.
00:55A big part of the longest holding professional record, 13 wins, two losses, one no contest.
01:01He stands, six feet four inches tall, weighing in at 248 pounds.
01:06Fighting out of Paris, France.
01:10Presenting the former interim UFC Heavyweight Champion and
01:15the number one ranked heavyweight contender in the world,
01:21Cyril Borgenberg.
01:27And now, introducing his opponent, fighting out of the red corner.
01:34A kickboxer holding a professional record, 13 wins, three losses.
01:38He stands, six feet four inches tall, weighing in at 251 pounds.
01:44Fighting out of Denver, Connecticut, where it's the pile of Brazil.
01:49He is the former UFC Middleweight Champion and the former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion.
01:59Presenting, the one, the only, Alex Poeta Pereira.
02:18All right, Johnny, we've been on the rules.
02:20Protect yourself at all times, follow my instructions, we're gonna keep it clean.
02:24Touch gloves, let's do it.
02:28So, Alex Poeta, trying to hit that rarefied air as a three-division UFC Champion.
02:35Thank you, Red Dela Cruz.
02:37Cyril Borgen figures to have something to say about that.
02:39I'm so nervous.
02:41I love title fights, it's the best thing ever.
02:43This one's wild.
02:45This is such a pick-em fight.
02:46A pick-em fight, brother.
02:48He's a pick-em.
02:49I don't know what I'm saying.
02:49He's so nervous, so nervous.
02:51All right, here we go for the UFC Zimmerman Heavyweight Championship.
02:53You gotta think Tommy Aspinall is watching somewhere.
02:56Cyril Ganes in white, Alex Poeta in blue.
02:59Oh!
03:01I love that high kick by Pereira with that open stance.
03:04You wanna start throwing high.
03:08I wonder if Pereira was throwing low kicks, being that throw-out to Southfall.
03:15Well, he likes that switch kick on the front leg.
03:19He throws a lot of gloves.
03:21He's like Southfalls.
03:27That kick so fast up there.
03:29No doubt.
03:34A chance to jump.
03:43Haven't seen either of these gentlemen since last October
03:46when Pededa re-revealed the white heavyweight title
03:48against Ahmad Khan, and Cyril Gan
03:50took part as third undisputed heavyweight title
03:52fight against Tom Asimov.
03:53I love when Cyril Gan speaks about him being in this position
03:58because he says, I've earned this, man.
04:00Every time Cyril Ghan fights anyone else that is the champ, he hates him.
04:03And when you win enough fights, you get the title opportunity.
04:06And that's why Cyril Ghan continues to find himself in these positions.
04:09There's a tap kick.
04:12They're trying to check that second offering.
04:1490 seconds down by round one.
04:20So far, the jab of Cyril Ghan, which is one of its primary weapons,
04:24has not been able to find a home.
04:27It's a nice and tight little kick.
04:29And that's because, for example, that conventional stance,
04:31the jab is much more difficult to land.
04:33Generally, you want to try to lead with the backhand
04:36when you're in that split stance or throw more kicks.
04:40But Ghan still bouncing around moving.
04:43That's one landed.
04:44That's a good stick by Ghan.
04:52There he goes.
05:03I love that takedown and takedown by Ghan.
05:05Just show him wrestling.
05:07Even if that's not your intention, don't let Pereira feel
05:09like you're in a stand-up fight.
05:10Because if you're in a stand-up fight with a leg, Pereira,
05:12it doesn't matter weight class.
05:13You're in trouble.
05:15Or there's danger.
05:17There's that front kick by Cyril Ghan.
05:19One of his primary weapons.
05:21He throws it very well off the front leg, even from a bladed stance.
05:24Nice inside low kick.
05:27Yeah, he gets that foot to the target awfully quickly for a man his size.
05:30Cyril's picked up the activity in the second part of the row.
05:32There's another low kick.
05:33Nice right hand.
05:34Oh!
05:37Pereira, eating those shots, but fairly well, all things considered.
05:44Nice lead hand by Ghan.
05:49That's one of the things that Pereira will do.
05:51At times when he gets hit, he starts pressing so much
05:54that he doesn't necessarily pay attention to the defense.
05:57Right.
05:57So he can be open if some shots landed.
06:05He also has a tendency to drop the hands, looking for the counters.
06:10I mean, Pereira pressing, gone back like that, it's crazy to me.
06:13Four and middleweight champs.
06:15Yeah, four and middle, two years ago, middleweight champs.
06:17It looks like he put 40 pounds in his axe.
06:21Yeah, that lower half carrying a lot of weight for Alex Padella.
06:25A lot of deadlifts.
06:26When that power comes from.
06:34He looks like heavy.
06:36That's a cash.
06:36Yeah, he does.
06:39Nice counter by Ciro, though.
06:41Ciro leaned out of the way of that eye kick.
06:43That's great.
06:46Ciro, fast hands.
06:47Got Ghan continuously finding the range.
06:50Ciro just keeps giving him that takedown feel.
06:53There's going to come a point where he actually grabs the leg.
06:57Ghan actually has the most submission attempts
06:59among all active heavyweights right now.
07:01Oh, nice inside.
07:02Low kick there.
07:03Yeah.
07:04One of Pereira's best strikes for the round.
07:14It's just like tense, right, because you know the fight can change in one strike.
07:19Nice cupcake by Ciro.
07:20This was a good round for Ciro, Ghan.
07:22Oh, a late connection by Pereira.
07:26But otherwise, a strong opening stands up for Ciro, Bonggaman, Ghan.
07:33Okay, whose bag is this?
07:35Sir, can you come with me, please?
07:38What's up with Jerry?
07:39He uses Bet365 sign-up bonus and won on that UFC fight last night.
07:43Has anything raised like a lender ever since?
07:46Quick, your game is up.
07:47Can't put it down.
07:48Weak, man, what this seems to be grabs it.
07:50Who finds the defendant not guilty?
07:52Okay, Gary.
07:54Oh, no, he's wealthy.
07:56New customers bet $10 for $365 bonus bets.
08:01Sometimes, walk to your left.
08:04Go to the right there.
08:06Whatever his top point, go to the left.
08:09Get out.
08:10Let's talk.
08:11You have to be disciplined.
08:12Heart, heart, and death calf.
08:14Faint to kick.
08:14Faint always.
08:16Faint.
08:16And after this, after the overhead, always faint.
08:29A lot of pointed advice while some of you were in commercial break from the former UFC champion Grover Teixeira
08:34in the corner of Alexis Boatán Pereira.
08:36Looking for more faints and to attack with some leg kicks on Sino Gan who outlanded Pereira 25-11 in
08:44round one.
08:44Well, you saw that inside leg kick he landed was really good.
08:47Sino Gan throws his own inside leg kick there.
08:49I mean, that is some serious black and blue on the inside of Podata's lead leg.
09:00Pretty concerted effort on the shot by Gan, Podata-wise, too.
09:03Oh, he hurt back.
09:05Oh, no.
09:06He's hurt.
09:07He is in real trouble.
09:08In real trouble.
09:08In real trouble.
09:09Oh, Bigado is for Bunga Box.
09:11Oh, my goodness.
09:14He's done.
09:16Podata back to his feet.
09:18He ran in real trouble.
09:18Oh, a crusher right from Gan.
09:22And now a counter left for Podata.
09:26God tried not to overextend.
09:28Tense moment, early round two.
09:34Big elbow.
09:36Where's her bed?
09:38He's hurt both hands.
09:39My goodness.
09:40Referee closing the distance, Podata trying to survive.
09:43Referee closing the distance, he's on one of the legs.
09:45Referee going to want to stop the fight.
09:47Oh!
09:47He's on one of the legs.
09:48That's it.
09:49Sino Gan!
09:50Now the two-time UFC Arab Heavyweight Champion.
09:54Whoa!
09:55Referee going to stop it.
09:56He did.
09:56He could stop it a long time ago.
09:58He gave him every chance he could.
09:59Yeah.
10:01Sino Gan has vanquished a legend.
10:06His 11th UFC win.
10:08None bigger than that one.
10:09Beautiful belt coming his way.
10:12Boom, gama.
10:12Boom, gama.
10:13But that's what we talk about, right?
10:15When Sheryl Don fights anyone that hasn't been the absolute best,
10:18he beats him.
10:19And now he's beating him in tremendous fashion.
10:21The counter was just so clean in the movement.
10:24The in and out was just so precise.
10:26Joe, he showed up like the guy that fought Tom Aspinall.
10:29Yes.
10:30And the guy that fought Tom Aspinall
10:31looked like the best fighter in the world.
10:32He hurt Pereira bad.
10:34Really bad.
10:34When he dropped him, that fight could have been stopped
10:36a long time ago.
10:37When he gave him opportunities to keep going
10:39and then Sheryl Gan did what he did to the finish.
10:42I took, I talked to him in Fernando.
10:44Look at this.
10:45Boom.
10:45He just walked out of my head.
10:46It's a jab.
10:47That right jab.
10:48Remember, that's the best.
10:49Yeah.
10:50And then the hammer fists afterwards.
10:52And then Sheryl's taking his time.
10:54I mean, just blasted Pereira.
10:56You can tell he's already gone, though.
10:58He's been gone for 20 seconds.
10:59Yeah, he was on wobbly legs for a long time.
11:01When he got dropped here and he started elbowing
11:04on the side of the head.
11:05Oh, look at this.
11:05Yeah, that was crazy.
11:07You clean left.
11:10Perfect stoppage, really.
11:11You got to be, that was crazy by Sheryl Gan.
11:15Hey, John, when we talk to Fernan Lopez and Sheryl Gan,
11:18and he's considered an underdog, and people are writing him off,
11:22they're almost smirking the entire week of the fight
11:25because they know, they know they got the guy.
11:27And once he gets zero proof,
11:28he's one of the best heavyweights in the world.
11:30And we talk a lot about Flow State being in the zone,
11:32and this guy says, I feel like I'm in the zone every time I strike.
11:35And largely the record speaks to that.
11:37What a win for Sheryl Gan.
