Final order of business here on FS1, Charles Dubronx-Olivera has won 10 bonuses in the UFC and he draws one of the biggest power threats in the division, the Irish Dragon, Paul Felder. Alright, so here is the uber-confident Irish Dragon, Paul Felder. Well, ever since Charles Olivera's UFC debut, which was a Charles Dubronx-Olivera, 28 years old, the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania native, Paul Felder, is back inside the octagon of Bruce Buffer. Ladies and gentlemen, the Friday's three rounds in the UFC lightweight division.
Hall, the Irish Dragon. Polder. Charles Dobroks. Rivera. It is a pick-and-fight, according to Las Vegas, between Paul Felder and Charles Oliveira.
Oh, Paul Felder is in white. Felder sent him a march forward. Right away, Oliveira lands a couple of good shots. You can't sleep on the striking of Oliveira.
Again, nice leg kick there by Oliveira. And look at the squeeze on Oliveira. Tremendous grappling ability.
And this is what makes this fight so much more dangerous for Paul Felder. Felder did not want to mess around on the mat whatsoever. Threw a couple elbows now back to his feet, but Oliveira grounds him again.
Felder's in a bad position. He's gonna try to spin over but in doing so he might give up the mount. He's gotta look out for his neck. He's gotta be very careful. It looks like he's looking for a darts choke.
Oh, Felder's in a lot of trouble here, a lot of trouble. He's going to try to defend but Oliveira is sinking it up. Oliveira is just cinching it in, tightening it up. Felder keeps rolling but he keeps rolling deeper and deeper into danger.
And Oliveira is so skillful with this. his choke. That's actually the worst thing Paul can do is step over there.
That shows a lack of understanding of high level ground. He's deep here. This is bad.
This is real bad. Belder does not want to tap and he might go to sleep because of that. The hands are no longer connected and now he's using the scissors clamping down.
Oh, he need him in the face. He need him in the face. That was an illegal knee!
Yeah. Felder not in a position to appeal here as he tries to defend. Oh, look at this. Now he's got the standing rear naked. Two minutes here to go in round one.
He's looking for the choke. This is his move, man. Last fight. Oh! Back to...
Oh! Big up kick, though. He's got to look out for his arms here.
No. Get out! Get out!
Reverse triangle! Big elbow from Felder. Felder is just wading right into danger.
Very surprised with that decision. Big elbow there. Even though it's dangerous, he's not thinking about that.
He's thinking about getting his shot. shots off now he spent the entire round defending his neck gotta be a confidence booster for felder to not get submitted there gotta look out for his leg his right leg's in trouble don't get there he goes he's out so crafty so good on the ground complete recap of all the action that was a big right hand by felder laverre could be getting tired it's one of the things that we said elbow once again for Felder so Paul Felder survives and closes the round in strong form right take down at all costs and Olivera's corner seeing if he can submission artists and UFC his ever get Felder out there in round one early shot pretty good entry Joe when it comes to his grappling but Felder fends it off here surprised that Felder isn't working for separation here. Is that easier said than done?
Easier said than done. And he doesn't want to blow out all his steam in doing so. And this is a grinding fight here. Again, a lot of energy expended in that first.
Oh, we heard him there. We heard him there. Elbow lands for Felder. Felder trying to pound Olivera out of there. Felder.
Felder. Felder. Felder.
Felder. Oliveira content to try to grapple with him at any cost To allow Oliveira to his feet looks like Felder's gonna try to Got his leg hyperextended. He's just got to be very careful very careful Anytime you're grappling with Oliveira you're doing what he wants And Paul did tell us before the fight he was not gonna play around on the mat But a fight's a fight and to your point it's been a grueling one at that No defense Paul.
Two minutes here to go round two. Okay now he does. Now he's got it hooked up but his leg's in trouble.
He's in a bad position here. Very bad position here. See this is the danger of grappling with Oliveira.
Even when he's on the bottom. Felder gets off and a big shot by Felder. And now those patented Felder elbows raining down.
Very technical as well. So he's always in a good position. He's leveraged.
Those long arms help a lot. Felder inside the closed guard of Charles Olsen. Oh, big elbow by Felder. Oh!
Huge elbow. This might be it. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Paul Felder gets Charles Oliveira out of there.
Taps. Oliveira taps those shots. Big, big shots by Paul Felder.
Oliveira was tapping him on the shoulder when he got hit with one of those big bombs. Here we're going to see the tap. We're going to see the elbow. Boom! He hits him with a big shot here.
And right now, he's got a big shot. Right there he's tapping. Boom, he gets hit again. Boom, he gets hit again.
Boom. Boom, and he's just covering up. But he had tapped after the first elbow. Declaring the winner by knockout, Paul, the Irish Dragon, Felder.
