The 11th episode of the Ultimate Fighter Tuf Season 33 saw the semi-relevant part of the flightweight bracket ending after a great back and forth chess match between a talented young prospect and a gray veteran.
The flying weights prepared while a TUF champion visited the house in the past
Prepare themselves for their chance to participate in the live final later this year, the last remaining 125 pound competitors in the show, Imanol Rodriguez and Joseph Morales, made up their shot to go in UFC.
Rodriguez crossed paths with undefeated Indian hunter Arshiyan Memon in the third episode of the season, in his first controversial Mixed martial arts appeared in the third episode of the season. Beautiful memon through a first round knockout, the Mexican Slugger immediately made itself a top flying weight tournament hopeful.
Morales produced his own fast finish and came across the number one pick from Team Cormier, Eduardo Henrique, who dominated the current LFA champion with an incredible rear naked choke in just two minutes. For a long time fans of the sport will remember Morales during his first stint in the UFC, where “Bopo” collected a record of 1-2 company before he was released.
Before the flying weights could come, the Ultimate Fighter House was honored with a valued visitor, a man who had won the competition the previous year, Mairon Santos. Fighting in season 32, De Brazilian Upstart plowed its way through the show and eventually conquered the featherweight trophy and a UFC contract. Although his debut ended in controversy after a close division victory on Francis Marshall, “The Legend” knew all the doubts about his capacities after beating Sodiq Yusuff in lightweight by a unanimous decision last May.
The flying weight semi -finals end with the narrowest margins
Rodriguez showed his sizzling hand speed in the beginning, and repeatedly tagged Morales in the face and body, so that the more experienced athlete was unable to combat them effectively. Because the stand -up department was thoroughly checked by the Mexican, Morales chose to bring Rodriguez down, get control of his back and to keep himself there for almost three minutes, to law the first round.
Although his opponent was stuck to his back while he was pelted by bumps, Rodriguez still seemed to be fresh in second place, because he succeeded in landing quite a few quick strikes on his experienced enemy. However, Morales also started to get a small soil on the feet and Rodriguez stood by the cage at the cage. Both men had their moments, but the second round finally ended like a shot.
Rodriguez demonstrated his skills as a complete martial artist and decided to use his own Jiu-Jitsu competence and bring Morales to the canvas in the third. The Mexican flight weight was given its own amazing amount of control time and dominated the once UFC competitor for almost the entire round and sweeping the last frame of the match on all three jury’s scorecards.
