Williams in the red trunks. Monttero in the blue. Monto is going to really want to drag this into deep waters. Good takedown here. Beautiful takedown.
Back up already though. That's pretty good defense from Monto.
And this is how he ended his last fight after getting a knockdown. Finished it with ground and pound. Going for the finish here.
Oh my. When he was just landing relentless ground and pound on Mont.
This guy's the full package, man.
Oh, nice right hand by Williams.
Another right hand from Williams followed by a left and then the answer from Monttero.
A good coach really sets their fighters up to deal with adversity and tough moments. And this is that moment for him.
10 season in, we know what he wants.
It's effort. It's laying it all on the line whether you're winning or losing.
Oh, it's big shots. He's got to keep unloading here. And Terrell's guy up to his feet. You really want the knee almost like on your navel to get that heel hook. And he was able to slip through.
That's the reversal, but little late.
Still looking up the clock as the horn sounds is Antonio Montero. Our first fight of the night.
For the winner by unanimous decision, Ty Williams.
Tyan. Tyan, I actually really liked your fight. And I like you. You fought a tough guy with a lot of experience and if you're up for it, what I would like to do is bring you back again. I talked to Shawn about it. Like for you to come back fight in the Contender Series again and I want to see you again. Okay, thanks Tyan.
Well, there's that left kick of Hernandez right away trying to get into the face of Gon. Get past that long range.
Smart. He needs to get right to the cage. That's a takedown.
Well, you called it, Senko. You knew he was going to be aggressive.
And Gon I've seen in some of his earlier fights, he'll kind of be complacent on the ground. I like that he's striking from here, looking to get back up to his feet. Definitely made some improvements from some of his earlier fights.
Nice. Nice.
Yeah, Hernandez is just so powerful.
Hernandez has been very effective with those elbows in some of his previous fights. The clinch is where Dion feels comfortable. Katika and trying not to get hit with those. Big body kick there. That's right to the liver.
Yeah, I think he hurt him.
I think so, too.
Oh, but he's got to watch his head here. That's a pretty good muay clinch by...
Yeah. So much leverage with that height, too.
Oh, another big body kick.
That's one of those weapons that are not fun to deal with when you go off the southpaw is that liver kick from the power side.
Nice left hand by Hernandez.
Hernandez is smelling blood right now.
Sticking with it. Big left hands. Get him through the guard.
Fion is seeing everything coming though. He's watching.
Oh, land.
Oh my gosh. You didn't see that.
Look at those 17 strikes to the body from Hernandez.
Oh, right hand by... That is the thing about Hernandez's style. It is all offense.
Hernandez starting to look a little bit gassed. His base is starting to get a little wobbly.
I mean, there's nothing more tiring short of a fighter being tired because you have to explode. And there you go. He's got it.
Hernandez finishing strong here in the first round. Mixing in the elbows.
I think Dion might be as tired.
Oh my gosh.
Rock and robots out here.
Oh my gosh.
What a phenomenal back and forth first round.
Oh, big jab. Oh, big right hand there.
Oh, left foot. Got him.
Hernandez is wobbly.
Oh, he's good with the anaconda choke. He is.
He's had a finish here before.
It's slippery though and it's hard to get anaconda and chokes with the arm in. Oh, he switches with no arm in.
Good roll through for Hernandez.
Oh, he's out. Hernandez is out.
And now he's up.
It looks like he has to... Hernandez... from the sheriff's office in Miami.
This anaconda choke. He's able to roll through, gets the dominant position immediately, takes the back. Gets nice and square with Gon and starts attacking a submission of his known. Let's see it here. And all right away back to chest, gets square with it and that was tight. He got the taps. All right.
Luis. I mean, I love this fight. Love this fight. Two dogs blasted each other with big shots. You guys basically have the same record. Both of you guys were in trouble. You overcame big punches, being tired, submission attempts to get the finish. Incredible fight. I absolutely loved it. Welcome to the UFC, Lewis Hernandez. Welcome to the UFC.
Abdul Akbar Abdulv just a massive favorite. He is our biggest favorite of the night. And we talked about how high level he is. The numbers say everything. Minus 2500 for Abby.
Yeah, I'm trying not to blink. He is fast.
He's fast. He's got very crisp boxing. Great angles, great footwork.
Oh, it didn't take long for Abolio to say, 'I am here and I am here to stay.'
Did I mention face melting power? I was just getting to that. Didn't have time to say it.
It took all of 19 seconds for him to deliver the knockout blow. I mean, that is a perfectly placed overhand right to the tip of the chin. Does not get cleaner than that.
Oh, and he knew it. He just let him fall.
Face planted.
And I'm telling you guys, this is just the tip of the iceberg. That's what's so crazy.
Who do you love more, him or Shaft?
I don't know. It might be a contest now.
Shot's going to get back in there.
They are going crazy in Kyrgyzstan right now. You know, sometimes we oversell guys and overhype guys. I don't think you can hype this dude enough.
I started getting a little nervous when the fight started. I'm like, did I oversell this guy?
For the winner by knockout, Abar.
