This is your co- main event of the night a quick look at the tail of the tape the younger by 8 years is federovich allegedly a little bit taller doesn’t look like it no you would need the people who do the measuring to get the TP out again it’ll be interesting to
See if M Ben lar after that last fight approaches it with the same kind of fervor with the Striking I got my answer pops off three jobs right from the get go yeah watch out for the lead foot of fedorovich just as I say that swings it up called
It he may also try keep an eye on it he may also step to the outside which is indicative of a spin coming and I love the the Vigor that fedorovich has cuz he comes from a comfortable upbringing and a good family in the Lithuanian Capital he didn’t need
To pursue martial arts per se but he chose to to compete and put his University degree in physiotherapy to the side because he simply fell in love with MMA he’s diding a really good job of implementing lateral movement using all the space there’s that spin we were talking about lands
Right in the solar plexus I feel like he can see a little bit more of a careful approach from lakar considering the you know the result of the last fight some noticeable redness despite on his lead leg without having really taken any proper leg kicks dorov as we alluded to has a very
Well credential striking background do have a very clean spinning back Fest but right now he has to NE get that job of Med Ben lar yeah so far it’s Flash from fedorovich and fundamentals from lar and while we look great those those are techniques that use a lot of energy
As well those kinds of spinning attacks that was a great tep to the body there for fedorovich trying to land that short hook over the top borovic doing a great job with the Striking inside outside of the leg Med Ben lar so far two minutes into
This fight looks a little bit guny oh glancing shot and again that that didn’t come from that wasn’t intentional by fedorovich by any stretch of the imagination he was moving forward Med Ben lar was moving backwards these things happen in MMA Mar Ben lar does have a full five
Minutes with which to recover and it may be in his best interest to take those five minutes to try and compose himself settle back into the fight he’s now had a little bit of time to see what federovich is all about yeah I mean there’s no point hurrying back without being ready you
You wouldn’t want that for any any job position right now his job is inside the cage I say take your time why Rush something like That what it also does it also halts the momentum of federovich who’s doing a great job putting his strikes together all right back to the action we go oh beautiful shot to the body fires off that counter hook and in doing that counter hook he creates the
Angle for himself CU he was very close to the cage circled away and 24 years old to have that kind of awareness Inside the Cage is great absolutely I mean he had a bit of a rock oh he connected with the right hand there dead and T over the
Top and so far he’s really not letting up with the offense which is making it very hard for lar to sort of get his own offense going cuz he’s constantly being pushed back little bit off balance oh nice combination there from lar he made well shots count it’s probably the most definitive
Shot of the fight landed Yeah by a guy who’s thrown very few shots efficiency of outcome that’s exactly what that is and heading to this fight fedorovich has said I try above all to entertain the crowd to do that I use everything I know high kicks jumping knees elbows Etc he’s
Living up to that that is for [Applause] sure M Ben lar still looks a little bit tensive oh not far away with a spinning kick yeah I mean it’s a game of inches and I’m sensing some frustration in the French Corner they it seems like they
Want a little bit more action out of her fighter just as you say that they get it oh oh upward cut a hook combination nice defense there from fedorovich doing a good job of fighting out that Southpaw stanson switching back into Orthodox constantly it completely
Opens up a my an an arsenal of attacks for federovich and it doesn’t give Mary Ben lar that time to settle in cuz everything he’s seeing is coming from different angles yeah it’s definitely hectic but so far lakar he’s starting to find his rhythm a little bit I sense
Where he landed a nice strike just previous it maybe took M Ben lar after that last fight to get hit to realize that he can still take a shot yeah I mean there I I can only imagine the amount of sort of mental ghost that that have been haunting him since that
Fight stepping into a cage and I sold out Zenit here in Paris oh nice job there from luar he waited for that counter fired it off I don’t think he landed with 100% Effectiveness but it definitely shows that he is calculating every single strike he throws very very interesting first
Round tentative and calculated would be the best way to describe the approach of Ben lar at the minute but for me I think fedorovich came in and took out r i I’m inclined to agree he was constantly on the offense he was connecting quite a bit initially that
Was a great spinning back kick to the body there we had two hooks found the target from lock down still very much all to play for going into our second R you hope that Betty Ben lar feels a little bit more comfortable in there now and you see just how far away that
Spinning heel kick was just glancing the nose of Med ban lar I mean just a two three CM closer and that could really have done some damage both Fighters ready to go interesting to see what adjustments both Fighters have made coming out the Orthodox stance ni fedorovich perhaps trying to set up that
Right kick solid leg kick even just the threat of the spin is enough to get the reaction from Ben lar yeah well I mean he has felt he felt at spinning back kick fir hand so Understandable nice work trying to use the FI from fedorov there’s that switch and he covers distance on the switch so intelligent oh not far away very little tail on that I mean fedorovich is definitely playing a game of high risk High reward what I like from fedorovich is it’s not
Change stance then hit it’s change stance and hit at the same time thus covering distance and getting my shot off quicker oh real gentleman there Med Ben lar as he disengaged without the referee having noticed the eye Poke and that is just something that happens when you have these fingerless gloves course another case of an completely unintentional foul hopefully we are back to the action without incident not far away fedorovich and I mean statistically sure he’s missed a lot of these big kicks but
Sooner or later one of those will connect properly so lar has got to start thinking of a solution for that the movement of fedorovich is fantastic constantly creating angles for himself solid leg kick again for Med Ben but he needs to set those up a little bit with the hands
Yeah he’s had some he’s displayed some great boxing so it could definitely be the building blocks for a stronger and longer combination was a nice rear Hook from fedorovich I think that that inside leg kick did a little bit of damage there as well from fedorovich that constant stance
Switching is giving medy then like to our very sore head what he does he throws he throws the rear kick and then sets it down into the opposite stance yeah so he’s not having to bring that kick back oh beautiful shot Over the Top Just Clips the
Chin nice shot from Ben lar fires off that rear Street he needs to establish himself a little bit more in this fight right now he’s had he hasn’t had nearly as much offense as fedorovich has fedorovich really has imposed himself on this fight and is leading the dance
Unquestionably still looks light on the feet throwing beautiful fence to to get the bite from medy B lar and this is B to be a frustrating fight for him yeah absolutely not the comeback that he wanted for sure right now he’s almost being hered Up Against the Cage by
Fedorov fedorovich is kind of showing him where he wants him to go also doing oh little cut on the top of the head of fedorovich didn’t even see how that [Applause] Happened nice job there by lar gets his opponent grounded has a lot of time to work as well let fedorovich jump almost like a gentleman’s agreement to strike yeah I mean I’m sure our fans appreciate it but I wonder if perhaps he could have done well with a little bit of top
Position some ground and pound even just in the eyes of the judges got some decent shots off there oh oh spin bik Fest wasn’t far away gets a smile out of his French opponent real recognize real oh that overhand ride is just again so close to really connecting with full
Impact just get the feeling that fedorovich is not far away from landing something definitive 30 seconds left to go in the second round here Taylor lulus in the corner of Ben Lar following in instructions to his fighter and the thing is Sebastian oh beautiful T there’s a much better R for Fe lar
Yeah wasn’t enough to win the run I don’t know yeah so close and and basically impossible for people in our position as commentators to call such a close round but definitely a better run for Med B lar he did get some of his shots off there did get the takeown but
Again the takedown is then canceled out and negated by the fact that he didn’t follow up and do anything with it mhm the worry for me would be that M Ben lar begins to get frustrated in the third round cuz you can the crowd are getting a little bit uneasy they want to
See something from him they want to see something definitive if he over reaches and starts chasing the fight a little bit he could leave himself vulnerable to one of those shots from fedorovich and then it’s it’s a double-edged sword right because you can’t stay on the
Outside at the end of those kicks you got to you got to cut the distance a little bit but in doing so he risks opening himself up for one of the shorter shots it’s yeah it’s not going to be easy he’s going to have to dig
Deep here in the third round it could be one round a piece it could be two Z hard to say if I’m in the corner of fedorovich a close round I’m going to be saying you’re in enemy territory let’s just assume as close as that fight was that
It goes or that round was that it goes to Ben lar oh fedorovich doing a good job not to chase it was all off of what looked like an inside CR kick trying to find a home for the upper cut fedorovich I mean any way of this fight goes Fedor has definitely established
Himself as a hot Prospect worth keeping an eye on he plays to the crowd he throws exciting combinations with striking techniques I don’t think anyone in French MMA expected the fight to unfold this way yeah you can almost hear the the quiet concern and the voice of the corner of
Med Ben lar yeah I heard him calling for him to go let’s go almost clinched up a a little bit there con next at the right hand of the Guard is lar but you would have thought looking cuz obviously his corner has done research into the opponent you
Would have thought looking at the fact that his four losses come by way of submission that you would put him on his back yeah not very very little wrestling at all for M Ben lar oh beautiful jab I sorry straight as he was switching I
Think it started as a jab but then the stre yeah oh there again with that inside Crescent kick there for fov comes out very strange angle and there is a lot to like about how lar is countering but it’s just needs a little bit more offense mixed in
There as well that was a night right nice right hand that connect refren doing a little bit better now putting the pressure on fedorovich not allowing him to control the the fight nice little short hook and it’s like he said earlier Phil he switches STS mid combination it makes
It so hard to see where he’s going again that PR K has three or four of them he’s thrown nice switch into the straight beautiful footwork and showing that if you were to watch if you were to watch this fight I wouldn’t know that he was an orthodox fighter unless I had
Asked him specifically yeah and it looked like fedorovich was complaining about an eye poke or something like that you go to the referee says otherwise just trying to find the little gaps here again throwing Lots he’s maintained the same kind of output throughout the course of the fight
Beautiful inside leg kick look at the reding up just shy with a big shot was Ben lar yeah he was waiting for the right moment 90 seconds left in the third and final round potentially Med Ben lar needs a finish third round has been incredibly technical in
Kg volume wise I do think more shots have been landed by fedorovich yeah we don’t have the stats but I mean this fight definitely has a feel of it jab to the body there forar I like that you know mixing things up a little bit Miss with that spinning attack there from fedorovich
Big Shot there from Ben lar there is a palpable tension in the arena right now meals are being [Applause] bitten yeah this fight truly is being fought on a Razor’s Edge it’s like any one strike can really change the course of right now we’re seeing lar open up a
Little bit more offensively and I think he needs that as we enter a final stretch final 20 seconds of the third round both these Fighters know that with the limited time that they have they need to leave a little tick in their heads and eyes of the
Judges you even feel like the guy who lands the last strike of the fight could win the fight yeah oh there it is very very Ki fight from medy Ben lar are we going to see a huge upset here in our co- event M Ben lar almost apologetic I I think he probably
Realizes that he didn’t open up enough offensively and just you know going on Optics alone third round ends with fedorovich Landing a strike that sure doesn’t land flush but it’s enough to get lakar off balance and the and so for the first time we go to the judges scorecards here at Exon
MMA 13 but first let’s take a look at some of that action very fun striking battle over the course of three rounds regardless of what comes in the results Oswald fedorovich really has anced himself onto the global stage with a performance like that oh definitely Phil also did didn’t
Know who he was before sure do now very quick to get the decision don’t think we’re looking at a split then you could literally hear a pin drop in the place right now people are biting their nails I realized that I was holding my breath before you started speaking serious palpable air of
Anticipation if I’m fedorovich and my hand gets raised here I’m making a beine for the Door I’ll be honest Sebastian I had my heart and my m a little bit thinking that we were going
