01:35Karate King!
01:38Karate King!
01:38Karate King!
02:02Karate King!
02:05to the tenor of the world,
02:09Manel Starboy Khan!
02:20All right, gentlemen, you've been able to rule
02:21to protect yourself at all times.
02:24Follow my instructions.
02:25We're gonna keep you clean.
02:26Touch blood and stuff.
02:33It's a rematch, nearly a decade in the making,
02:38a top five flyweight potential title eliminator,
02:42Manel Starboy Khan and the Karate Kid, Kyochi Horiguchi.
02:48Ready? Let's go.
02:51And here we go.
02:54And let's remember that first fight in 2017.
02:58It was wild.
03:00It was crazy insane.
03:01Kopp was slipping all over the place.
03:03He was knocked down at least twice in that fight.
03:06And then that serious clash of heads,
03:09Horiguchi didn't know where he was.
03:11Ooh, that's a nice kick, though.
03:15But this is so typical for Manel.
03:18Takes his time.
03:20Watches his opponents.
03:22Steaders that movements, looks for openings.
03:25And then when he goes, he goes.
03:31As he mentioned to us in the fighter meetings,
03:34he's a completely different fighter than the last time we saw him.
03:38Resources, coaching, better gym.
03:43He's just getting by him.
03:44He's just getting by him.
03:44Shirt talent, athletic ability before.
03:47He's a big fan.
03:50Yes.
03:57There he is!
03:59All right.
04:03That is for him.
04:05You got to lose the air.
04:07All right.
04:07Good job.
04:09All right.
04:10Watch out.
04:12Watch out.
04:12Watch out.
04:13Watch out.
04:13Watch out.
04:13All right.
04:3335 years old, looks like he hasn't lost a step.
04:39Oh, beautiful elbow.
04:40Oh!
04:42That's the difference though.
04:44Horiguchi generates his flush.
04:46And the man, the man touched him.
04:49Stumble there.
04:54Right here just misses from Horiguchi.
05:00In training at the American Top Team, you gotta think that Horiguchi has seen.
05:05Painfuls you're doing wrongs, other great guys in that gym.
05:12Yeah, of course, but Manel's so unique.
05:15There's not many people that have the kind of power and speed that he has.
05:19I remember Manel talking way back in the day.
05:24Yeah, of course, but Manel's so unique.
05:27There's not many people that have the kind of power and speed that he has.
05:32I remember Manel talking way back in the day when you first started coming over.
05:36And you come on to AK and you just knew that this kid has this amazing talent.
05:41And now it feels like extreme up to him on the street now.
05:46They really have fostered that to the mixed martial arts that we see inside the shotgun.
05:52Yeah, when we talked about potential title fight, obviously, when I say obviously,
05:56is Joshua Vaughn and Alejandro Pato.
06:00That's probably gonna happen.
06:02And I said, if I win here tonight, I'm happy to win.
06:05I know what I deserve.
06:07I'm fighting for the belt.
06:08And if I'm going to wait, I'm going to wait.
06:12And truthfully, he thought he should have been fighting for the belt already.
06:16So he needs to come here and give a put.
06:18But just as a fan, I would look to see either of these guys versus Joshua Vaughn.
06:23Joshua Vaughn puts so much pressure on him.
06:26He would make you fight.
06:27Yeah.
06:28That's the best thing about this young champion band.
06:31He makes everybody engage in those guys a great fight.
06:35Well, you know Pantoza is looking forward to that rematch.
06:38If it indeed does come to fruition, he did not like to wait for that ended initially.
06:45Takedown inside Mahoguchi.
06:46Perfect defense.
06:47Round and out.
06:50One minute on that.
06:51One minute.
06:57This is over a minute to go here in the first round of a five round main event.
07:01Takedown inside.
07:07Takedown inside.
07:09Whoa, three, go ahead!
07:12We'll find that way.
07:12Move the ball.
07:13Take the ball.
07:13Go ahead.
07:14Take that ball.
07:15Take that ball.
07:17Future your ball.
07:17Take the ball.
07:18aberencia way too.
07:19Take that ball.
07:37A very measured first round for both fighters here tonight.
07:57This is a great way to finish the round for Haraguchi.
08:03Almost coming from the bottom from Kap.
08:11A couple of deep breaths.
08:13Very good.
08:15Very good.
08:16One zero.
08:17One zero.
08:17Great round.
08:18Very good round.
08:19Very good round.
08:20Okay.
08:31No more body kick, right?
08:36Let's work on level chain punch, right?
08:38Fake the double leg and drive through.
08:41Let's try double leg, right?
08:43Look at 10 times in time, right?
08:45You need to do that.
08:45Strike these two.
08:47Strike these two.
08:47No more body kick.
08:49Keep chopping inside low, right?
08:51Lean with the two.
08:52Doing great.
08:52Keep doing what you're doing.
08:54Very nice.
08:54All right.
09:13Every 29β
09:14Two.
09:16One.
09:18One.
09:19Oneβ
09:20Two.
09:22Oneβ
09:24Oneβ
09:24Taking it down was not hard, was it?
09:27Let's try for a good one.
09:29You've got to remember, in the last five years,
09:31the only loss of Manel Copps record is to Mohamed Makaya.
09:35Mohamed Makaya defeated, a lot of wrestling.
09:38Yeah, he had such a horrible win.
09:48I think Manel is so worried about the takedown.
09:51He's not really confident to let himself go.
10:03Yeah, interesting to see these threats coming in here.
10:08All split between line and goal.
10:11Very good.
10:15He didn't like, man.
10:16He's got a full ball.
10:19Got a nice time.
10:21I'm going to find him for the three, man.
10:24He's on the wall.
10:25That will get you back.
10:27Take that game, George.
10:28That will get you back.
10:29He's safe down as well.
10:31Shared it to Hothback.
10:33Hothback, inside kick.
10:34Copps kept throwing that.
10:35But he was throwing it out, setting it up.
10:37Not throwing nothing in front of it.
10:39We saw it in the front of the Heiner, Emile.
10:41You know, Emile kept dropping his left hand.
10:45Rodriguez threw a right hand in front of it.
10:47Copps can't follow.
10:48It's much harder to do chest kicks whenever you put strikes in front of it.
10:57And Kiyochi is a tremendous grabber.
11:02Trying to land something from the top position here is Horikuchi.
11:09And the odds have flipped Horikuchi now, the favorite here in round two, two minutes in.
11:14Kiyochi, take that.
11:15Go, stop.
11:16He didn't need it.
11:17Let's go.
11:19Let's go.
11:20Let's go.
11:22Let's go.
11:23Let's go.
11:24Let's go.
11:25Let's go.
11:26Let's go.
11:27Let's go.
11:28Let's go.
11:30Let's go.
11:31Let's go.
11:39Let's go.
11:42Let's go.
11:46Let's go.
11:48to get to an advantageous position at the mount or whatever,
11:52drive down Big Yellow Ball, do some damage, look for the finish.
11:56Because in two minutes,
11:58and that comes from a couple of feet,
11:59and that's where he's most dangerous.
12:06He doesn't look like Medellich necessarily trying to stab.
12:09He's just trying to stall.
12:11He's got the guard closed, legs crossed.
12:15He's not looking to avoid the wall,
12:18push on the head or anything like that.
12:20So he's happy to buy that out of his round,
12:23knowing that it's 3-balled.
12:25He's slinging some cheeky logos from the bottom there.
12:28They're going to see if he ever missed it.
12:30And now he's looking for an arc triangle from underneath.
12:34He's trying to steal one of your words.
12:36Yeah, yeah, yeah.
12:37Guard's a cheeky attack.
12:39We're going to snap him down.
12:41Oh, my God.
12:43I'm hot.
12:44I'm hot.
12:46I'm hot.
12:47I'm hot.
12:47I'm hot.
12:49Stop, I'm hot.
12:51I'm hot.
12:52I'm hot.
12:53I'm hot.
12:53You can't befriend Bisbee too much.
12:55I know.
12:55They're going to get you.
12:56I should've heard.
13:07I'm hot.
13:09I know.
13:10I know you're going to be a guy going up.
13:11No, we're good.
13:13And they're definitely going to be a section of fear to Haraguchi.
13:15There's no doubt about that.
13:17A little minute to go now.
13:18Three minutes of ground control time for Haraguchi.
13:21I was just going to say, massive round for Haraguchi.
13:24What we did with the director, a lot of control tag.
13:28Not the most devastating ground in the pound, however, still being effective, landing little shots.
13:35Passes guard down by some half guard, 30 seconds left.
13:44Well, again, both fighters have five rounds to work with here as we're under 30 seconds to go here and
13:49after.
13:49And even if he doesn't get the finish, he's been forcing Menel to work.
13:53Yes, he has.
13:54Little bits of damage, chipping away overall.
13:58You know, they're good shots.
14:00Nothing to teach you about Oslo.
14:02Also, Michael, you gain confidence from knowing if you can get this fight to the ground.
14:07Yeah.
14:07He has the ability to control him.
14:14A strong ending to the first two rounds for Haraguchi.
14:18Haraguchi.
14:20Come on, baby.
14:23That's it.
14:26Three deep points.
14:27Three deep points.
14:30Three deep points.
14:30Three deep points.
14:31Hey, so, you see what he's leading with, right?
14:34He's leading big left hook and that's what he's trying to shoot off of.
14:37Couple options now.
14:38We hit you with the left hook.
14:40Remember?
14:40We hit you with the left hook.
14:41Remember?
14:41We hit you with the left hook.
14:42You can hit him for the left hook again.
14:44We can crash that elbow.
14:46We can roll the hook into our left overhand or we can bring the back knee.
14:50We need your stance in low.
14:51You know, we can wrestle.
14:52We need your stance in low.
15:02You know, we can wrestle.
15:04Let's go.
15:07Let's go.
15:08Let's go.
15:09Let's go.
15:09Let's go.
15:10Let's go.
15:11An impressive first two rounds from Kiyochi Horaguchi.
15:14He has taken top down twice.
15:18The last guy who took him down more than two times was Mohamed Makaev.
15:23He took him down three times.
15:25He's the last man to beat Manel Kopp.
15:30And that's really a discussion at the end of the round.
15:33Just chipping away, working down for speed.
15:37The explosion of Manel Kopp.
15:41Making him less confident.
15:43No, no, no.
15:44You think that's the hook, yeah?
15:45You think?
15:46You think he's gonna do the hook, yeah?
15:47This is one of the least of those.
15:50But he has to be mindful of the wrestling.
15:54Close that.
15:54Close that.
15:55Close that.
15:55Close that.
15:56Close that.
15:56Close that.
15:57He's gotta cause a little bit of chaos in there.
16:01Horaguchi's up two rounds, I believe.
16:04And Koppel in the front of Ray to take him down.
16:07Oh.
16:07types of...
16:09At the top of Ray, Trey.
16:11Caps are not.
16:11Massive round we have.
16:13Tremendous banner by Horaguchi,aiter
16:15right there. And shoots..!
16:18In the front
16:19of Ray! The head!
16:22Let's play!
16:23Wolfiao manP
16:23γ§γ. olha Man, Si!
16:28Yo!
16:42Kaka out stepped on the gas.
16:44Let's see if he continues to pull on here in the foreground.
16:49Well, so far, all of the big moments
16:51have been on the side of Haraguchi.
16:56The takedown, the ground power,
16:58the most significant shots on the three.
17:04And now he's gonna have to start taking some chances.
17:07I understand he's just going to have the takedown here.
17:12He's gonna have to pull the through there.
17:15He's gonna have to pull the through there.
17:18Don't look only for the backhand.
17:20Use a double.
17:24Come on, after that.
17:27Come on, after that.
17:29One of those guys have to get the activity up.
17:31If you want to come back right now, Haraguchi sparks up.
17:34Yeah.
17:36That was a great check.
17:37That was always right up there.
17:39Haraguchi check that.
17:41Yeah.
17:42He fell on the floor.
17:43And then he got up quickly and between two.
17:45That's one of the things about that inside,
17:47the leg hits floor.
17:49The object remains every one of them.
17:51Working a little ginger.
17:52Keeping an eye on our left side.
17:54Yep.
17:54Now he's gonna look for the right hand.
17:56Yes, yes, yes.
17:59It's his taste.
18:01Massive power.
18:03Vanellcoff on the top, he's up.
18:04He's going for a fish.
18:05He's up.
18:07That's it.
18:07Stop right, there's a dump.
18:10He's a tie to five next.
18:12Wow.
18:13Just when he looked like the fighters,
18:17moving his grasp.
18:20Vanellcoff takes him all around.
18:23Wow.
18:24Look like he was hurt.
18:26Look like the leg was compromised.
18:29He was taking over.
18:31But the power of Vanellcoff is always the equalizer.
18:36Yes, it is, especially out of 125 pounds,
18:39where everybody doesn't possess that type of power.
18:43I don't know what you're talking about.
18:46Man, they're beautiful.
18:50Right hand.
18:52That hurt him.
18:53And Vanellcoff has great finishing instincts.
18:57Look at it right here.
18:59Horacucci misses.
19:01Bam.
19:02Big right hand by Cop.
19:04Horacucci tried to show he's not hurt,
19:06but never notices it.
19:07And he's got great finishing instincts.
19:09It was an uppercut.
19:11It was an uppercut.
19:11From behind him.
19:13That knocked his head forward and he flagged him out.
19:16That was a great stoppage by Irv D.
19:17Well, there was one uppercut.
19:19What?
19:19It was the second one where he fell.
19:22Real fast.
19:23Wait for it.
19:25Bam.
19:25That one.
19:26Two.
19:26That's the one.
19:27And to be honest, the way that he drops,
19:30because I understand how huge he got,
19:32really quickly.
19:32Look at that.
19:33He falls face down to the canvas.
19:37It was a good call.
19:39Thank you very much.
19:43Revenge always.
