Ready an Losa fight they touch him up Reese mcke returns to the UFC after a thin at cage Warriors Ana came through Contender Series so the game plan for mcke I mean it’s pretty simple he has to use that reach advantage we can see the power and

We on this play now yeah we seeing the chin earli of re M last time out against Alex morono I was calling him the Irish zombie and he was like listen that’s a very cool name but I don’t want to be known for that I can’t be known for

Being tough yes that’s an attribute you want to have oh he explosive work here from L’s the wrestling looking for a guillotine here as Reese mck those long they will help I mean this is a great start for Loa right now and this is a pace that he

Likes to keep being aggressive with that forward pressure mixing in the takedowns and with the guys down to kill Cliff you know we were talking about it on the desk yesterday with Michael CH excuse me with Mike KS he was talking about how Michael Chandler says this guy has

Really actually been working on those takedowns really been trying to mix that into his game plan I’m talking with two Kos a teammate who’s in his Corner tonight and he said he’s got light heavyweight pressure on the ground as well yeah well he certainly looks like a

Light heavyweight up top let’s be honest right now for mcke this is a terrible start for him right ate a massive right hand it was impressive that he’s still in the fight that looked like a punch that had knockout ability but he’s still here’s still on it he’s still working

Back to his feet doesn’t want to take too many elbows like that hammering away here too many shots full catalog of shots from Los re is going to get some respect he’s going to lower that base throw something back want to two straight down the pipe stop Lan from proceeding forward without

Caution that’s the problem when you’re the taller fighter a lot of the times you’re punching down right and these shorter Fighters like Losa he’s used to fighting these tall guys at welterweight he’s used to slipping in and coming over with big punches and you better believe

He’s got a lot of bodies that are similar to this tall guys to train and fight with down at kill Cliff well a and Gary would have been one of them yes and and this is the thing for mck as well taller guy and it’s just it’s just the

Way it is they tend to carry their chins kind of higher up in the air because they’re taller they have a longer neck it’s just it’s just there to be on occasion a nice from M this is good for mck he can start to get some peppering

Away here get that jab going see when he throws that jab though he’s got to make sure you know Loa is going to be coming over with that big Power because of the power that’s coming back from LOA mck’s going to be nasty with it when he pumps

That jab out pump it to hurt oh yeah those don’t just place it don’t use it as a rangefinder because the risk is too high against somebody like Loa he’s swinging for the fences he’s trying to knock your head off so you can’t just pour Jabs out there it’s got to be

Snappy it’s got to be nasty it looks like Losa has kind of settled in a little bit knowing okay I didn’t get him out of there right away I knew that was probably the game plan listen let’s barrage him let’s see what we can do well M weathered an early storm and it

Was quiet the storm some might call it a hurricane but now back in it and we still got a minute 40 left and the tables have slightly turned here the lot of corner told me that they thought mck had a lazy left hand the way that he

Retracts it and even where it’s placed for someone like Loa it was exactly the kind of thing that he wants to be able to go through it and I think mck could start to look for these knees as well you know now that in the game plan of

Losa is level changes you know it’s there you know to get past your range you’ve got to commit to over-the-top punches but where where does your head go when those punches go over the top tends to be in the middle or off to the side M’s looking good here he’s looking

Very very good I me Big Shot there from Lo he the time took a little few seconds off some BR now he’s coming back with some offense apparently Loa has a deceivingly good condition like his cardio is great he was a track athlete yeah look and I’ve said that this guy

Can go at this pace we saw that in that Fletcher fight where Fletcher punched himself out trying to finish him basically and then they came he came out even though he was rocked and hurt in I think that second round he came out in the third in better shape than Fletcher

Did oh no he’s always in great shape but I will say this we were just in Singapore we saw the retirement of the Korean zombie the Korean zombie is dead the Irish zombie is back because he is taking some shots here and reys mcke is not even blinking he’s just taking them

All in his stride I remember a fight Justin Burlington where he got taken down and beaten up a bit but he red back knee that connected last few seconds in his opening round round number two here in Paris worldwe fixture a lossa and reys mcke so the corner of ree mcke telling

Him stop reacting to Losa you got to go first you got to create the openings and set traps while you do do it and that’s what he’s doing he’s cutting off the cage he’s putting Loa on the back foot stopping him from progressing and being the aggressor and that’s great advice our

Take okay we took the big shot we know this guy hits hard let’s let’s not rely on that let’s go at him let’s get our offense going and here you see itan when Reese is starting to let the hands go he’s got great boxing he’s got to watch

The big counters coming back from he’s got great power as well and a great coach that’s Rodney Mo Rodney Moore I went on trials for The Ultimate Fighter 2005 with that guy Irish MMA Legend there yeah 100% shout out rore through there St Norman Park many other fights is coming through I’m

Sure oh good pressure now though from from Losa that was nice for M though CAU the right hand stepped up on the angle and then fired back he’s got the longer shots but you see just right there he’s pouring a little bit as I said in round

One it’s a little it’s a dangerous game to play for somebody with this kind of power talking about yeah you can’t eat too many of these right hands he’s getting good timing Losa he’s seeing these Snappy Jabs coming he’s covering up well here that was a Snappy jab from the

Kid both guys have landed some good leg kicks on each other as well saw a level change a second ago from Losa might be thinking about a take down double right hand there prob problem problem with the takedowns it takes a lot of energy and left hook like that will as

Well that’s a shot nice timing and that’s a shot and it’s absolute textbook and great listening from the corner as well cuz it was getting back and forth both guys had their moments on the feet what can we do to set ourselves apart fine throw that take down he’s trying to work

His guard here though pass guard beautifully but mck reard very very well it’s some really high level stuff from both men here so M trying to get that right on probably going to try and get it through and bck him [Applause] off he’s not just a big strong marauding

Mad man this guy has real te ability and they’re improving they’re getting better yeah high level wrestling I’m really excited to see it as well because he’s had a rough start I think when he got his time um out on The Dan White Contender series it was of course

Jack Dela Melena and he’ been out for for a long time I’m not sure his a couple of years even got full Mount here guys nice work there from M to get that that knee through big old long legs yeah these are Big Shots now from

Ross can’t take much more of these oh mck’s in trouble he’s in big trouble here he huge he’s got hard though man my God but he’s getting overwhelmed can’t take too much more of this he’s got to cover up his face oh Big Shots here from laa what an

Onslaught but did Loa into the attack and is it oh no out I thought he might have been was close but nice and sweaty it’s warm in here oh it’s warm I’m a sweaty animal right now it’s been cold all week and then it’s 85 today bad timing [Applause]

Weather well angos is just having to take a breath for a moment re mck has stayed the course I mean that was just incredible I don’t know how I mean number one the amount of shots an Losa through I mean that was incredible the speed of the power but for Reese M to

Still be in this I mean I was very concerned for him for a second because Loa was on the verge of a spectacular finish one that would be on highlight reels for a very long time and I’ll say it again the Irish zombie I mean some chin on

This heart and will a plenty for Reese m sadly he’s been in a similar pos position last time he debuted in the UFC with hamat shamayev so he would have definitely worked on these positions but he is leaking on the Octagon at the moment ready heading into this fight he

Been checked out but as Rodney Moore said it’s only a bit of swelling and that was some tremendous corner workk from Rodney Moore telling him what he needed to hear saying big deep 5 minutes youve taken his best shots you have to get a finish and the question is angel

Looks to be in great shape look at that spectacular teammate Michael Chandler was talking to K and told him how diligently Losa had been working on this wrestling and it is really paid off you know another thing that I got to give him huge credit for is his hand speed

The combinations he’s not just loading up when he has re HT up against the fence he’s throwing off you know 15 punch combos this is must this is do or die from M got to get up from this position and when he does if he does he’s got to

Start looking for the killer weapons the knees the elbows the head kicks because it’s uh it’s not looking good for for Reese mck right now but you know what I’ll say this I’m not making excuses for I think AR we got to keep an eye on this guy yeah he this guy looks

World class right now the wrestling the pace the power the speed of the punches as you said Paul it was blisteringly fast I mean I don’t know in that when he tried to finish him in round two like 30 punches in a few seconds it was insane

Yeah you saw the strike count was significantly different from that single flurry and I think that was kind of the the frustration for losser and the corner was that he was trying to fight little differently every time he stepped into the Octagon this this aggression this precise nature of performance is

Much more in tune with well what they were alluding to in the gym fair play to mcke cuz he’s almost up here he’s got to be careful this is where he got in a lot of trouble in round two this is where Losa started really throwing those big punches from the side

Here it looks he’s I think he knows that if he can keep M down he can dominate from the ground position m that left arm and really swing it over the top and then there will get the wizard The overhook whatever you want to call it

And he won’t there it almost loss is defending with his head that’s nice though is he under the chin yes he is but it’s inside control big SL there by lo as I said I think an Los of what we seeing right here this is a truly world

Class performance in fact from both men but the point I’m going to make is that I feel for re M he made his first UFC debut against hamac chimy who as we know is just a monster and still undefeated and other than Gilbert Burns destroyed everyone oh he’s got two minutes to make

Something happen and I feel like Los is a name that we’re going to be hearing a lot from in the future based on what we’re seeing here that said not over to the fat lady sings this is kind of Reese mck’s fight though as in this is what

Happens in a Reese mcke fight he does does take damage but he can R back he never goes away of course not because he’s I mean it’s clear as day dude is as tough as they come but he’s just down big time he’s eating a lot of damage so

Even when he’s throwing that you can see it’s a little bit labored and I don’t think it’s a cardio issue no as much as a damage issue right when you’ve been grilled like that up against the fence and taken down you start to get gunshot right now he’s got 90 seconds just under

To get the Finish Loa does look a little fatigued he’s not as explosive I know but look at that movement still fainting the take Downs mck got to step on the gas empty the tank it’s going to be hard to finish this guy though not because of

The physique but because because he is the shorter man he has a shorter neck therefore you know he’s got a wide chin he’s heavily muscled nice he defends that one this is a great fight though oh here we go oh what happened he couldn’t get his feet opportunity for M this is where

The knees and stuff mck’s on the attack lands the uppercut he’s going to hurt opponent rips to the body this is it for mck this is unbelievable stuff he’s really hurt he spins him around has got to stay on his feet Lo’s got to get a take down at this point M

With another elbow he’s cut wide but he’s still pressuring he has got out of it he seconds to finish this I don’t think there’s enough time left to put it got him with that a little bit the referee is watching 5 Seconds his toughness now this is insane upper W throw to the

Final Bell what a fight what an absolute War here in Paris ladies and gentlemen after three rounds we go to the judges scorecards for decision the judge score the contest 3027 2928 and 2928 for the winner by unanimous decision a The Last Ninja
