00:00And the moment we've all been waiting for is now, live from the Minute Apex here in the entertainment capital
00:10of the world, Las Vegas, Nevada, this is the main event, five rounds scheduled this in the UFC Flyweight Division,
00:19this main event is brought to you by the official fire sharing partner of UFC, Superfile, Secure File Sharing, and
00:26Unsharing.
00:26St. John Biden, the Nevada State Athletic Commission, the Executive Director is Jack Mullen, the Chairman, Dallas Hawke.
00:33The three judges scoring at octagon side, Mike Bell, Sal D'Amato, and Chris Lee.
00:39And inside the octagon, your referee in charge of the action, Herb Dean.
00:45And now, ladies and gentlemen, the judges are ready, the fires are ready, the MMA world is ready.
00:52Las Vegas makes a nod, thank you, Terry.
01:02In terms of the first, fighting out of the blue corner.
01:05This big smash artist is five feet, four inches tall, weighing officially 125 pounds, a veteran of 36 professional fights,
01:13his record stands, 36 victories, five defeats.
01:15With one more contest, fighting out of Coconut Creek, Florida, USA, the UFC's number five ranked flyweight contender in the
01:24world, here's Kyoji, Karate K. Harikuchi.
01:34And the crossings has gone his opponent in the red corner.
01:38This big smash artist is five feet, five inches tall.
01:41He weighed in at the flyweight limit, 126 pounds, and holds a regular 22 victories.
01:47With seven defeats, he finds out of Porto, Portugal.
01:50He's the UFC's number two ranked flyweight contender in the world, Manel Sturko, Karate K.
02:01Manel Sturko, Karate K. Harikuchi.
02:01All right, gentlemen, you've been able to rule, protect yourself at all times, follow my instructions, we're gonna keep you
02:12clean, touch gloves and stuff.
02:20It's a rematch, nearly a decade in the making, a top five flyweight potential title eliminator, Manel Sturko, Karate K.
02:30Harikuchi.
02:34Let's go.
02:36And here we go.
02:38Unless you remember that first fight in 2017, it was wild.
02:43It was crazy insane.
02:45Kopp was slipping all over the place, he was knocked out at least twice in that fight.
02:50And then that serious clash of heads, Harikuchi getting nowhere it was.
02:53Ooh, that's a nice kick though.
02:57But this is so typical for Manel.
02:59Takes his time, watches his opponents, studies their movements, looks their openings.
03:07And then when he goes, he goes.
03:12As he mentioned to us in the fighter meetings, a completely different fighter than the last time we saw him.
03:19Resources, coaching, better than Jim.
03:22He was just getting by him.
03:24Short town and athletic ability before.
03:25pressure injuries on a셍 or even late.
03:32Just two planes, both in the last.
03:39Just one plane, two planes, two, as a program.
03:46Focus, taking advantage.
03:48Something second planes錯綠, girlfriend.
03:52Terrifying,akers in a heh.
04:0835 years old, looks like he hasn't lost a step.
04:13Oh, beautiful elbow.
04:15Oh!
04:17That's the difference, though.
04:34And Monell is so unique, there's not many people that have the kind of power that he's in, but Monell
04:45is so unique, there's not many people that have the kind of power that he's in.
04:54Yeah, of course, but Monell is so unique, there's not many people that have the kind of power and speed
05:00that he has.
05:02I remember Monell top way back in the day, when he first started coming over, and he was coming out
05:06to AK and he just knew that this kid has this amazing talent, and now it feels like extreme up
05:13to him when he's training now.
05:14Yeah, they really have fostered that to the mixed martial arts that we see inside the op-guns out coming
05:19in them.
05:20Yeah, well, we talked about potential title fight, obviously, but I say obviously.
05:24It's Joshua Vaughn and Alejandro Kato just, that's probably gonna happen.
05:29And I said, if I win here tonight, I'm happy to win.
05:32I know what I deserve, I'm fighting for the belt.
05:34And if I'm going to wait, I'm going to wait.
05:38And truthfully, he thought he should have been fighting for the belt already, so he should be able to get
05:43the belt.
05:44But just as a final, I would look to see both either of these guys versus Joshua Vaughn.
05:48Joshua Vaughn puts so much pressure on him.
05:50He would make you fight.
05:52Yeah.
05:52That's the best thing about this young champion man.
05:55He makes everybody in the age of middle-class with three fights.
05:59And you know Pantos is looking forward to that rematch, if it indeed does come to fruition.
06:04He did not like that at an initial.
06:08Take-down time by Harakuchi, perfect defense, running out.
06:19Just over a minute to go here in the first round of our five-round main event.
06:23Do it, defense, defense, defense.
06:30Go ahead, defense.
06:32Go ahead, defense, defense, defense.
06:33Take, take, take.
06:34Take, take, take, take.
06:36Take, take, take, take, take.
06:39Throw it behind the ****.
06:42You're good.
06:44All right you did.
06:45You did.
06:45I'm ready to open the ground book.
06:4630 second.
06:47Take control of the чтобы.
06:48haw genteだから.
06:49Go ahead.
06:55A very measured first round for both fighters here tonight.
07:06Oh, beautiful timing.
07:08And that's how they're out.
07:13This is a great way to finish the round for Haraguchi.
07:19Almost coming from the arm from Karp.
07:27Couple deep breaths.
07:28Couple deep breaths.
07:29Very good.
07:30Very good.
07:301-0.
07:311-0.
07:32Very good round.
07:33Very good round.
07:34Okay.
07:36This body can always be okay.
07:38Okay.
07:40Ready for shot-pulls.
07:42Ready for 1-12.
07:431-12.
07:45No more body kick, right?
07:472-2.
07:48Hey, let's work on level change punch, right?
07:51Fake the double leg.
07:52And drive through.
07:54Let's try double leg, right?
07:55Okay.
07:56Take that one so hard, right?
07:57You need to get back.
07:58Strike the two.
07:59Strike the two.
07:59No more body kick.
08:01Keep chomping in side low, right?
08:02Lean with the two.
08:03Doing great.
08:04Keep doing what you're doing.
08:05Very nice.
08:22First.
08:29Brown said to Hori Kuczyn, it hits one up.
08:31Did you hear that?
08:32What he said.
08:33To get it down was not hard, was it?
08:35Let's try for a good one.
08:37You gotta remember, in the last five years,
08:39the only loss of Manel Kopp's record is to Mohamed Makaev.
08:43Mohamed Makaev, how did he beat him?
08:44A lot of wrestling.
08:45Mohamed Makaev has such a horrible relationship.
08:48I think Manel is so worried about the takedown,
08:57he's not really confident to let himself go.
09:01Look at him, he's so good.
09:04Can't get him cut off?
09:05You can't get him cut off?
09:08Can't get him cut off?
09:09Yeah, interesting to see these threats coming in here.
09:13All are split between .
09:14Oh, that's not that one.
09:19That's not that one.
09:20He's got the ball, everything, to him.
09:31And he's tied down as well, straight into half-off.
09:35Off that inside kick, Kyle kept throwing that.
09:37But he was throwing it off, setting it up, not throwing it up in front of it.
09:41We saw it in the fight with Heidel Emile.
09:43You know, Emile kept dropping his left hand.
09:46Rodriguez threw a right hand in front of it.
09:48High kick followed.
09:49It's much harder to test kicks when he puts strikes in front of it.
10:02Trying to land something from the top position here is Orokuchi.
10:08The odds have flipped Orokuchi now the favorite here in round 2, 2 minutes in.
10:28Orokuchi is cornered off of the elbows.
10:30Orokuchi needs to make the most of this opportunity.
10:33But that's what this is right now.
10:34He's got Orok, he's right on his back, he's in the driver's suit.
10:37In two and a half minutes, Orokuchi is back in the street.
10:41So that's why Orok is an opportunity.
10:42He has an opportunity to find a submission.
10:44To get to an advantage of his position behind the mound or whatever.
10:47Drive down, big elbow, do some damage, look for the finish.
10:51Because in two minutes, Orokuchi is back in the field.
10:54And that's where his last day goes.
11:00He doesn't look like Orokuchi necessarily trying to stab.
11:03He's just trying to stall.
11:04He's got the guard closed, the legs crossed.
11:08He's not looking to a word walk, push on the head or anything like that.
11:12So he seems like he's happy to bite out of his round, knowing that it's 3-4.
11:17He's landed some tricky elbows from the bottom there.
11:20And Orokuchi together nasty.
11:22And now he's looking for an arc triangle from 108.
11:25He's trying to steal one of your words.
11:27Yeah, yeah, yeah.
11:28We're going to have to take the attacks.
11:30We're going to have to take the attack.
11:31We're going to have to take the attack.
11:33I don't know about it.
11:34I'm not going to have to take that attack.
11:39Stop jumping.
11:42You can't be from this big too much.
11:44I know.
11:45He'll get you.
11:45I should've learned that.
11:59I'm going to go down three minutes of ground control time for Horiguchi.
12:08I'm just going to say massive ground for Horiguchi.
12:11Horiguchi got the most devastating ground in the palm, however still being effective, landing little shots.
12:21This is Garg down to half guard, 30 seconds left.
12:2630 seconds, 30 seconds, 30 seconds!
12:29Well again, both fighters have five rounds to work with here for under 30 seconds to go here now too.
12:34And even if he doesn't get the finish, he's been forcing Minel Park to work.
12:37He's been forcing little bits of damage, chipping away overall.
12:42You know, they're big shots. Nothing cheesy about those lines.
12:45Also, Michael, you gain confidence from knowing if you can get this fight to the ground.
12:50He has the ability to control him.
12:56A strong ending to the first two rounds for Horiguchi Horiguchi.
13:07Three deep points. Three deep points. Three deep points.
13:12Hey, so, you see what he's leading with, right?
13:15He's leading big left hook and that's what he's trying to shoot off of.
13:18Couple options now.
13:22We can crash that elbow, we can roll the hook into our left overhand or we can bring the back
13:28heave.
13:29We need your stance in low.
13:30You know, we can wrestle.
13:32Yeah, low stance.
13:33Let's lead with the back hand, right? Lead with your right.
13:36Be careful when we're leading with the hook.
13:37And remember, no more body kicks, right? He's tricky catching up.
13:40Doing great. 2-0.
13:412-0.
13:412-0.
13:422-0.
13:442-0.
13:442-0.
13:462-0.
13:472-0.
13:48An impressive first two rounds from Kyoji Horiguchi.
13:51He has taken Kopp down twice.
13:55The last guy who took him down more than two times was Mohamed Makaev.
13:59He took him down three times.
14:00He's the last man to beat.
14:02Manel Kopp.
14:12Manel Kopp.
14:14Manel Kopp.
14:15Manel Kopp.
14:17Manel Kopp.
14:19Manel Kopp.
14:21Manel Kopp.
14:22Manel Kopp.
14:23Manel Kopp.
14:24Manel Kopp.
14:24Manel Kopp.
14:25Manel Kopp.
14:26Manel Kopp.
14:27Manel Kopp.
14:28Manel Kopp.
14:29Manel Kopp.
14:29Manel Kopp.
14:30Manel Kopp.
14:30Manel Kopp.
14:32Manel Kopp.
14:32Manel Kopp.
14:32Manel Kopp.
14:44Tremendous banner by Horcucci, right here, right now, let's shoot!
14:471, 2, 3, 2, 3, 2, 3, 2, 3, 2, 3, 2, 3, 2, 3, 2, 3, 2, 3, 2,
14:553, 2, 3, 2, 3, 2, 3.
15:11Cock came out, stepped on the gas.
15:13Let's see if he continues to pour on here to the third round.
15:17Well, so far, all of the big moments have been on the side of Haraguchi.
15:23The takedown, the ground, bam.
15:25They must admit to beat Chelsea on the free.
15:31And they're going to have to start to get some chances.
15:33I understand he's respected on the takedown here.
15:38He's going to have to pull the suit there.
15:41He's still got the balls on the net.
15:44Don't look only for the backhand.
15:45You're the double.
15:49Hold on after that.
15:51I just got to get the act of video.
15:55And he wants to come back.
15:57And right now, Haraguchi's far enough.
16:00That was a great check, that was wrong.
16:03Haraguchi checked that.
16:05You fell to the floor.
16:06He fell to the floor and then he fell up with Patrisis.
16:08That's one of the things about the inside leg.
16:10Six o'clock, every one of them.
16:13Keep an eye on the floor.
16:16Yep.
16:21It's hysterical.
16:23Masikawa.
16:24905 points.
16:25He's going for a finish.
16:27Yeah!
16:28That's it!
16:28Star Wars gets it down!
16:31He's a tired five next!
16:32Wow!
16:34Just when he looked,
16:36we're out of fibers.
16:38Moving his squad.
16:40Manel Kopp turns it all around.
16:42Wow!
16:44Looked like he was hurt.
16:45Looked like the leg was compromised.
16:48The co-op was taking over.
16:50But the power of Manel Kopp
16:52is always the equalizer.
16:54Yes, it is, especially at 125 pounds,
16:57where everybody doesn't possess
16:58that type of power.
17:02Man, they're beautiful.
17:07Right hand that hurt him.
17:10And Manel Kopp has great fishing instincts.
17:14Look at it right here.
17:16Horaguchi misses.
17:17Bam!
17:18Big right hand by Kopp.
17:20Horaguchi tries to show he's not hurt,
17:22but never notices it.
17:23And he's got great fishing instincts.
17:24It was an uppercut.
17:26Yes.
17:27From behind him.
17:28That knocked his head forward
17:29and he flagged him out.
17:31That was a great stopper by Irving.
17:32When there was one of Paco,
17:34what was the second one
17:35where he fell.
17:36Real fire.
17:37Wait for it.
17:39Bam!
17:39That one.
17:40That's the wall.
17:41And to be honest,
17:42the way that he drops,
17:43because I understand how huge he got,
17:45where the coins are from,
17:46but he falls face down to the canvas.
17:50That's a good call.
17:55Revenge always.
17:56Revenge always.
