PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Manuel Neuer (ranked 1227 p4p, 161 weight class) and Jaakko Ilmarinen (ranked 1889 p4p, 232 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Manuel Neuer has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Manuel Neuer seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Ladies and gentlemen. This fight is 3 rounds, in the middleweight division. Introducing the fighter to my left, fighting out of the red corner. With a record of
12 - 7 - 0, fighting out of London, Manuel Neuer! And introducing the fighter to my right, fighting out of the blue corner. With a record of

The bell rings for round one and we are underway! Ilmarinen throws the left hand but Neuer avoids the punch easily. We've been informed that Ilmarinen has been sparring a lot of Muay Thai in the buildup to this fight so let's see if that has an impact on the result. Neuer is looking for a takedown here. He's shot in and has managed to get it, finishing up in Ilmarinen's half guard. Ilmarinen is trying to stand.
Neuer is working for a kimura from half guard. He's really concentrating on the hold and it's allowed Ilmarinen to slip a leg under and get back to full guard. Ilmarinen wants to stand but Neuer is controlling the position. Neuer is trying to work a guillotine from the top, or something like that? Don't know how he thinks he's going to get a finish from there. Neuer won't allow Ilmarinen to get back to his feet. We've had a slow start to the round here - hopefully the action picks up. Ilmarinen preventing the ground and pound from doing any damage. Neuer drops back looking for a submission - "I'm sorry sir, but I'm gunna break your leg" says Neuer as he cranks on the unfortunate limb! Ilmarinen screams and taps out before any major damage is done! Don't mess with Neuer! Nice submission victory there!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:55 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Kneebar). Manuel Neuer! Manuel Neuer very nearly forgot to thank Urban Fighter amongst all the excitement of his win but just as the interview came to a close, he screamed their name. Hopefully he'll get a few nice freebies in the mail as a thank you. Jaakko Ilmarinen was interviewed post fight and said 'Lucky rat I had flu'.
