Here come Thailand, 29 year old Saxik Janom representing the land of smiles, famous for the art of eight limbs and Muay Thai, respect most Thai fighters to have a rich, striking base. Jadom is no different. Yeah, he's been in mixed martial arts for a minute. He went all the way to one championship warrior series, but took an injury in, I believe, the first round of his first bout, and it sidelined him for a few years. So, this is a nice way to get back into it. He's a talented mixed martial artist trying to bring home a medal to Thailand. They've got a great staff. One of the, you know, their coach, Kyokun, is the Ted Lasso of this industry. He's the most lovable, wonderful guy. They're great representatives for Thailand. And here comes his opponent. It's a horrible matchup for him. I'm sorry to say. Coach Ipzoda is a fearsome competitor. Strong junior IMAC background. Now unbeaten across three recorded pro bouts, one of Tajikistan's top emerging prospects. Yeah, this guy's been collecting medals at the international level. You can see how serious he is by just looking at his face. And like you said, he's undefeated in at least three pro fights. It's not always possible to track every single region, but we've got three confirmed pro fights. Three victories. And you said it, this is a tough competitor for the tie here. If I was to describe what I'm expecting in a word Explosive Sure I don't expect a slow start Let's put it that way Yeah, and he's got a little bit of everything Hopefully Sakzid can stay off his back Just looks so big and strong, Krushitzoda. Yeah. Good. Ready? Ready? Fight! Here we go. Krushitzoda putting out those feints from the get-go. Both athletes with little time to start what a low kick took him off his feet that's exactly what he needs the high kick narrowly missing for kashid zoda sacks it shooting was defended koshit soda makes it work for his advantage he's almost in full mount difficult customer to take down it's got a hold of that single leg I think the ties we're going for the element of surprise there Koshin Soda's got the back dominant position ref letting them work the ground and pound no this could be a finish you know it's going to work not defending Saxit must defend yeah well this will be the result an early finish Behrouz Kashidzada of Tajikistan with a dominant win by knockout that's how you want to start a tournament get in get out in a minute fresh as a daisy He did take that one significant low kick. And for some reason, John Holm went for the takedown and just ended up in a bad position, couldn't get out of it, and then it became more and more dominant here. For your winner. The winner is... Red Corner! Not easy to watch from a Thailand perspective. As soon as he started unleashing the ground and pound, it was a matter of time. Yeah, I mean, I'd love to see the replay, but I think he had his feet off the ground, and it is so hard at that point to defend your head and try and get out of there. If you can't anchor some other limb to the mat, there's literally no way up. Perfectly fine stoppage obviously there. Central Asia continues to roll.
