Welcome to Ultimate MMA!
Today we're looking back at the most epic highlights from UFC 239 Jones versus Santos.
First up is Diego Sanchez versus Mike Chiesa.
Chiesa dismantles and dominates Diego Sanchez with ease winning via unanimous decision
...Diego Sanchez also going south paw is in black and early shot from Sanchez!
He has to get to hold the neck though, this is not a good position for Diego Sanchez.
Wow beautiful transition, look at that.
Look at that, beautiful.
He turns around; look at that, sensational grappling.
I mean this was always the hallmark of Michael Chiesa.
His skillset.
He's got the body lock and he's got the triangle, he's under the neck
Oh Mike's setting that up deep too.
Mike's gonna soften them up before he tires his arms out.
Nice elbows there from Chiesa.
Nasty elbows.
Ooo right on the ear too!
Yeah you're right though Joe right here it's pretty obvious.
Nice punches there!
This is what concerns me that the effortless domination that Michael Chiesa has, he's just
throwing them around.
I mean it's like watching a black belt roll with a blue belt.
It really is.
Cranking that neck now, oh he's really cranking it.
The winner by unanimous decision: Michael Maverick Chiesa!!
Absolute dominance from Michael Chiesa
Next up we have a light heavyweight bout between Jan Blachowicz and Luke Rockhold.
Blachowicz rocks Rockhold's world with a stunning knockout victory.
Down the middle and he's heavily favoring that left kick.
Blachowicz has got to do something to stop it.
There's a shot.
Luke's gonna get that neck.
Luke really just pressing on him here.
Fantastic -- OH!
Nice elbow, he just lets... nice left hand, he shakes his head but it landed Luke.
Look for that left kick, there it goes!
Oop, nice block there.
Wonder how the forearms are feeling for Blachowicz.
OOOOHH!
Rockhold is loaded up on that high left kick a couple times
Nice front kick there from Rockhold
OOH!
He got him hurt at the buzzer!
Rockhold presses forward - OH!
- Oh Rockhold got tagged there though, he got tagged now he's moving back
Blachowicz with a small cut at the bridge of his nose but he is a picture of focus here.
Blachowicz is doing a great job of attacking those legs
Rockhold thought about a take down, closes the distance and takes a knee
There's so much time being spent - OOOH!
HUGE LEFT FROM BLACHOWICZ!!
Turns out, Jan Blachowicz stops Luke Rockhold in his tracks!!
Wooooow
One more time, BOOOMMM
Not to be out-done we have Jorge Masvidal versus Ben Askren.
Which ends with the fastest knockout in UFC history.
The fight clock is brought to by Modelo - OOOH!!
ONE OF THE GREATEST KNOCKOUTS I'VE EVER SEEN Oh my goodness
And he has just turned in the fastest knockout in UFC history.
Five seconds: the official time.
Jorge Gamebred Masvidal
Then it was time for Amanda Nunes and Holly Holm to face off for the UFC women's bantamweight
championship.
Nunes cements her legacy as the queen of women's MMA.
Oh big high kick blocked by Holly.
Slip there but - nice knee!
Nasty knees to the body by Amanda.
Looking for the trip, she gets it.
Right back up!
Beautiful job
Nunes touches that lead leg of Holly Holm, crowd behind Holm here in Vegas, not far from
her Albuquerque home
Holly looking to see the reaction lifted that leg up like she was going to throw that round
kick -OH!
She had to stomach that right hand
Nice body kick and a big right from Nunes!
Aw, Nunes was - OOOH!!
HUGE HEAD KICK FROM NUNES
AMANDA NUNES STILL QUEEN OF THE JUNGLE!!
My goodness Baseball bats Joe.
Baseball bats.
Brilliant.
Amanda Nunes has now beaten every former UFC women's bantamweight champion.
Man, what a legacy.
Nothing but respect between these two women too.
AMANDA THE LIONESS NUNES!!!
Finally we get UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones against Thiago Santos going blow
for blow in a five round war for the championship.
...the southpaw stance as is John Jones wearing the black and gold befitting a champ.
Jon opening up with those kicks, there's that front leg side kick
But Jon, believe me, is reading that.
Jones catches the leg, big tell - OH!
Jon tries the spinning elbow, doesn't land.
Nice but - there is it again - calf kick.
He doesn't see - Ooo - left hand We saw Daniel Cormier knock John Jones' mouthpiece
out early on in one of their two fights.
That got away less than two minutes here to go round one.
Leg kicks have been a big part of the narrative here early on, six have landed for Santos.
OOoh - one of the danger - OH! - and again
And a big first round for Thiago Santos - a late land there by Johnny Bones!
We'll see if he can keep it going here in round two
Oh Thiago hurt himself, he hurt himself
Santos with a couple left hands forces Jones to retreat.
Now he's gotta go for broke if he's hurt.
Good body kick - he may have recovered.
Goes high with a head kick there.
This is an interesting game they're playing here.
Santos maybe a one legged fighter here
he's gotta be careful
Jones did a great job slipping out of the way of these bombs
He just doesn't care!
This is what makes him exciting
Oh Jesus.
Given the circumstances - OOH!!
Man, Jones has a chin, didn't seem all that phased by any of those three strikes that
landed.
Sat him down.
He might not be stung he might be wobbling because - OH!
Big knee from Jones!
And he gets right back to his feet properly lands a knee to the body
He's still throwing!
Throwing that left leg as high as he can, gets back up!
See a pretty nasty cut on the hairline of Santos
Those Jon Jones elbow - nice spinning back kick!
Oh nice kick.
Maybe were exaggerating the idea - woah Oh my goodness
They're going for it
Oh, real kick
And a superman punch from John Jones My goodness
Well Santos may need a wheelchair after this fight, but he is very much in it through 20
minutes 5th and final round for the UFC light heavyweight
title.
Jon Jones, Thiago Maretta Santos
Beautiful body kick
He stunned him there Oh - there he goes again
Still throwing kicks, this is not as bad as it has been for Santos
The problem is this, this could be the deciding round in a championship fight.
This is a dangerous game with less than a minute to go
Jones with the advantage, but...
Santos has certainly had his moments
So John Jones and Thiago Santos go the distance We go to the judges scorecards for decision
Aaaaand STILL the undisputed UFC Light Heavyweight champion of the world
Jon Bones Jones!!
