30 years old in July and we are underway
Israel aagna is in Black Anderson Silva
is in yellow Anderson Silva
Southpaw see which weapons are going to
be fired first I'd look for an inside
kick probably is what I'm thinking
outside kick VNA first VNA very
deceptive with his movement and his
footwork constantly in motion and
switching stances but never in a rush as
he told us I don't pray in hope I aim in
fire I'm just trying to touch the
opponent if you watch Anderson he's
always taking his time in the very
beginning of the fight first minute or
two he makes all the reads on timing
range what weapons you're trying to use
what you're setting up and then he
starts letting go later we'll find out
if he gets that option with Israel
most of osan's UFC competition has tried
to take him down Dom that is not the
expectation tonight but you just never
know that's what we're hoping for but he
also said that he's looking to stay busy
and make Anderson Silva work people
don't make him work hard enough they
don't keep throwing on him enough and uh
so far just a lot of Flash not too much
work
yet very aggressive schedule for Israel
aagna as he attacks that lead leg of
Anderson Silva four UFC fights in 2018
and getting right after it here early
2019 Silva's First Strike
lands Osan with eyes fixed on the target
presses forward trying to get Anderson
to look at his legs first and then let
his hands go soon after but watch that
hook kick that kick that he just threw
right there is one of ad's best kicks he
makes it look like it's going to go to
the body or low and then it flips over
the top of your defense called a
question mark kick and he's very good
with it and he gets you thinking about a
bunch of other things before he lands
it two minutes off the round one clock
Anderson is so good at keeping the fight
at his Pace I mean it's been two minutes
and there's been almost nothing prown
already
[Applause]
trying to get a beat on his opponent
here Silva ready to counter at all times
see there's that question mark kick that
I was talking about and he's getting
Anderson to fight on the faints he Fakes
fakes Fakes fakes and now Anderson's
chasing nagna touch over with the hurt B
one there that hurt him put his he needs
his hands up that got a slight wobble
out of Sila big right hand now from
Mna and now an elbow underneath for good
measure I'd like to see Anderson get his
hands up get the pressure going those
right hand the punches are landing and
he's reaching for the hands instead of
bringing his hands up to his face and
Anderson adna is now starting to get
that read inside leg kick lands with
authority for aagna two minutes now to
go round
one the faints are the difference adna's
faking he's faking and Anderson's just
staring and now he's Chon he land in one
can't chase Israel though he's got to be
careful with the chasing
over her beinging just checking to make
sure both Fighters had their mouth
pieces in they do and we trudge on I
think a little slobber just got knocked
out body kick from Silva lands under the
right elbow of
aagna one thing I don't like Anderson's
doing he's reaching for the hands can't
reach without AIA because the kick comes
out of nowhere if you start reaching for
his
hands more faints from Anderson would
help ooh big right hands
Landing one a Showmanship out of
Silva crowd totally engaged here four
minutes
in see he's biting on the faints and
that's the
issue osna fakes Anderson's biting so he
needs to fire or faint first nice kick
to the nice t to the knee of osna to
keep the space where he wants it
watch that hook kick it's coming soon
he's looking for it that's what he's
trying to set up in
adna Silva trying to navigate distance
is able to avoid that left kick just
barely says and that's how much you
always miss by when both these guys you
try to kick them you got to set it up
it's called throwing an empty kick and
that's why they're able to lean on it
now he doesn't want to run after adna
cuz that's when you make you got the
power you hear the ooen O every time
Silva advances final 10 seconds of the r
good Left Hand by
[Applause]
adna those punches are landing when he
switches stance he's coming with the
straight punches ooh couple late left
hands and Silva just able to duck under
that left kick five minutes can crowd on
hand here Rod La Arena go ahead Dom
sorry about that an adna is getting
playing that Showmanship you usually see
spider Anderson Silva doing that to
people and now we're seeing adna give
him a taste of his own medicine with the
[Applause]
Showmanship heel landed partially there
for Anderson Silva part of the message
in his Corner they feel like that right
hand will be
there landed it a couple times in round
one oh big counter right hook and that's
what you got to watch out for when you
go first on Anderson he's a good counter
Striker but also Anderson's Corner
saying he needs to go first he's waiting
a little too long and I kind of agree
with that he needs to be first a little
bit more on adna in this
round Sonna back Orthodox now Silva
tries a kick partially blocked by
Israel Israel faking a lot that's what's
really good about what he's doing right
now he's always showing something
different fake fake fake Anderson's kind
of staring in the mirror waiting he
needs to be first if I'm Anderson
there continues to attack that lead leg
of
Silva oh Silva with the guard completely
lowered eats the one
two we saw that with Weidman and it
didn't go so well let's keep that guard
up at from Anderson
Silva nobody wants to eat
punches that was a different defense you
see how he defended that leg kick that's
different
just turned and gave the hamstring but
it kind of like makes the leg go up up
the leg instead of pumping into the
muscle that was interesting adna bit on
the fake
there Silva unable to capitalize big
left hand lands for aagna and now the
boxing's getting through of aagna
because his hands are
down ooh good counter right by Sila that
right hand has been Silva's best weapon
tonight and right now what would really
help out ofia is some combinations from
either of these guys combinations
they're both thr on one flashy strike at
a time it's Landing though both these
guys there it is there's a combination
and now it's landing and this is what
Anderson needs to do make it ugly get in
the under hooks get in the pocket create
some elbows create some knees fighting
like that being first is how Anderson
can be successful adna forced to clinch
for a second now a buckling leg kick
from
Israel we have crossed the midpoint of
this
one scheduled for three five minute
rounds
a closing a plus 350
Underdog again aagna attacks the lower
body as we show you these significant
strikes landed osanna doubling up on the
former middleweight
[Applause]
champ nice to both land in one twos jab
right in the eye and that yeah the left
eye of aagna that one got into his eye
kind of poked him a
little and Anderson being first keeping
the pressure keep those hands up if
you're careful if you're Anderson right
here is when you can be dangerous and
putting Israel up against the fence
keeping it here is exactly what Anderson
needs to do keep it ugly keep the
pressure moving forward on Israel very
[Applause]
nice still patient excuse me I like the
guard of and right now but I don't like
him eating his shots with his hands down
can't get too cocky yeah not necessarily
the fighter you want to showbo against
Nifty little heel spinning kick and he's
been Landing those all night those are
nice they
[Applause]
hurt well those expecting this to be a
whitewash we are getting a fight left
hand Lance partially for Silva this is
absolutely a fight and I think Israel
knows it too still don't blink because
these guys are seconds of away they're
just missing by inches and they're both
making reads on the Finish shot
less than a minute out to go here in
round
two aagna resets talk about a test match
ladies and gentlemen I mean they're
staring at each other faints would
really help you see the total strikes
advantage osna in round one and two but
far tighter here in this second
round osna still just edging out
Anderson on the strike count and that's
what we were saying coming in Anderson
needs to throw his bring his strike
count up a little bit because that's the
one thing Israel does well as he keeps a
High Str count here we are seeing
Anderson get after that's what he needs
to do make it ugly get grimy be first
and that's what we're seeing
here Silva now connects to the body
final 10 seconds of the
round spinning attack from Silva nothing
doing we got a fight 5 minutes to go
realistically this is exactly what fans
wanted now let's see if they pick up the
Pace in this third I have a feeling
we're going to see Israel throw a lot
more in this third round to try to get
the finish and establish
it and I am no judge but could very well
be 1-1 heading into this third and final
round I believe I'm hearing Silva chance
here in
Melbourne a lot of people wonder what
the crowd split would be
like o that hurt that hurt that did hurt
don't think it didn't ladies and
gentlemen Anderson's good at pretending
like nothing but it
hurts Showmanship that's what he does
people he gets you thinking gets you
talking oosa for to retreat Silva
attempts the flying knee and unable to
land now osna right back in his face
some swelling underneath that right eye
of
Silva Silva almost perceivably keeping
his back up against against the ropes if
it was a boxing match just kind of
chilling
waiting see looking for the
[Applause]
counter well that right eye of Silva
blew up quickly he's been he's been
eating some left hands from the Southpaw
osna but right now adna's cool with just
faking saying come on I'm right here and
saying come on I'm right here come get
me I ain't going anywhere and osna
obliges Silva moves over to the fence
and my guys I say this is called staring
in the mirror what Sonia needs to do
here is fake fake fake fake fake keep
the fakes going and then Silva can't
read when he goes but if he just stares
at him it's speed for Speed read for
read fakes break that apart perhaps
Silva looking to force a clinch
situation here adna staying
composed just over 3 minutes to
[Applause]
go back to the center of the Octagon we
go
[Applause]
osna continues to work that lower half
of Anderson
Silva he's setting up that right high
that right high kick that he's got from
the Southpaw stance that's why he keeps
kicking the leg of Anderson he's going
to go high towards the end of the round
I have a feeling kick the low kick the
low and then go left high kick there it
is Silva's defense is there as adna
attempts the question mark kick leg
strike starting to pile up for the last
dial Bender 21 leg kicks for adna and
that's the Difference Maker the strikes
he's throwing a little bit more he's
more offensive than Anderson Anderson's
keeping it keeping him keeping him shy
though by countering at the right times
he ate that
[Applause]
one still like to see Anderson's guard
up
[Applause]
I mean how cool is this watching
Anderson Silva go strike for strike with
this man 20 years age
older under two minutes now to the side
this
one and adna just looking amazing he is
he's doing everything right and it's not
easy fighting Anderson Silva and he's
clipping him from the outside with that
left and that's why it's SW up the eye
of
Silva well
Silva has put in a lot of good work in
advance of this fight here tonight you
see the round three total
strikes four to one Edge for
aagna what's interesting is if you watch
this I mean this shows you how much you
got to wrestle and mix in wrestling with
Anderson Silva otherwise he could strike
with anybody strike for strike he mix in
some takedowns it breaks up the rhythm
of a striking that's what we haven't
seen adna do which usually is what helps
people out Edge Anderson Silva that's
what DC did that's what certain people
who beat him did they take him down
adna's going strike for strike and now
this has gone the distance and it's been
a very close fight as a result last
minute of our main event osna rips the
body once
more oh ni left pin good right high kick
switch to poet switch but I like to see
him keep his hands up and stop eating
these punches he needs to go first cuz
he's eating more than adanna and now
Silva returns fire with a
kick that's how you know Anderson's
having fun though when you're eating
shots and you're okay with it you're
literally in the fight having fun and he
just backed up a Ofna 30 seconds with a
stiff Jab 30 seconds now to go some
