a by johnny couldn't fight in the final due to a deep headwind and was replaced by a grown brittany the young croatian faced pavel should have love in a heavyweight battle and the powerful ukrainian did just what he'd done in his semifinal winning by a first round knockout to become tournament champion and scooped the one hundred thousand dollars top prize while the main event featured another croatian and another legend mythical filippovich nicknamed croke up against russian underdog i like see lanie. croke up immediately forced the linnik into a guillotine choke but the russian escaped and then managed to secure a takedown eventually look in his opponent in a nick crank that forced the croatian to tap the second single in round one inflicting a stunning first loss on croke up since he left the u.f.c. in two thousand and eleven. it was when you're going into the water i feel great. i can't really say anything i'm just full of emotions right now it was

a very hard fight thank you to everyone that supported me i'm very happy to have been part of the show a big surprise on the night of big knockouts and big names diligence left their marks on their opponents and made another mark on a growing number of russian fans make large shows quality moscow. well that stay in the cage is a russian flyweight anybody in the whole thing is preparing for the second back in the u.f.c. and already focused on his ultimate goal roberts five onion has will. made

a lead to go do you know the men who is looking to make history by winning mixed martial arts biggest style and becoming worship first ever you'd see jumpin after twelve professional flies in his homeland nicknamed the puncher and going into one of the country's major and make hopefuls the twenty eight year old headed west who stabbed himself on the next level. and on september the fourth in brazil to go do the first step into the u.f.c. gaged face local idol muppets venetia yeah you will soon see the most. it was a bit of a weird feeling for me that i wasn't fighting on him solely to be on a stage it was hard mentally i was making my way to the uk to get in front of a twenty five thousand strong crowd that was cheering for my brazilian opponent when the ring announcer introduced me the whole arena started booing me i thought

to myself ok it's not russia but i need to win if we have a snap on them on at the open with us in this level of business and the most moving . and he did the puncher relieved up to his name nothing misses out in the third round. and you know when i don't put you on the bottom of the sixth you are going to give . an american female it on a very special occasion you see twentieth anniversary. you have to that's and i'm sure the eliot fight will be easier for me than this year's didn't actually fight with me i didn't want to go toe to toe looking for a victory by decision elliott is a whole different story here with their poor dog fight and that's what i like to be looking forward to facing opponent like this dream come true. for.

the good of his very best even for a flyweight just under three years gil he made his debut in one of russia's still promotions the fight night serious and already feels his ultimate goal is on the horizon. in the company was on that level i don't care who i face in the ring i fight anyone and even now i feel ready to fight for the champions belt a couple more fights before the title bout would be perfect i think if i have a three no record in the u.f.c. i'll be given a title shot. to finish here. in terms of skill he's ready he has great boxing a good ground game to me nobody in the u.f.c. flyweight division is better a stronger king or grappling than him he's also a very strong athlete based weight but it's just not the right time yet he's only just made his debut in style and will soon have his second fight on the u.f.c.

as anniversary such a lot of emotion and drive he needs to experience it and get used to his new environment have safe for fights in the year and only then the u.f.c. champions title will become his sole motivation and that will be the right time. well the chance to become the undisputed best flyweight in the world really is what waiting for. our city. now moving on to freestyle wrestling and russia fought back from three nil down to be rivals georgia four three after a gripping final ballot at the six nation moscow lites cup michael graf janko was there. the sport of wrestling is on a high after keeping its traditional sport at the olympics and russia's freestyle wrestling team was also in a confident mood after finishing second at the recent world championships in budapest yet this time around they went into the bouts against rivals georgia

already one nil down as they missed the likes of olympic champion jamal dawson time off and failed to register a single wrestler in the hundred twenty kilogram category they then face another uphill task i think the lighter weights fail to handle their opponents and give to them made this a put three milly's on their fighting spirit was finally found at some us some mccoy it produced a strong performance this is called by another convincing result from the u.s. involvement list susman slip to leave the tie in the balance and doing all the damn silly things. that i was on my sixty. and russia times i deserved seven points to six victory. of course georgia has a strong team they're great the traditional wrestling as well as freestyle and it was a pleasure to meet them in the final and even though we had a younger reserve side today fortune was in our favor and that with the help of

desire if we won this thanks to everyone involved and thanks to all the fans. the earlier in the graeco-roman final turkey also beat a determined georgia team fourth straight but again only after getting their opponents a three new lead. with the deciding victory coming through veteran wrestler to lose a. russian made up for not making the finals by slashing boag area seven zero however head coach is really was still proud of his young squad. but only said is it in this last hour we came with a reserve team as we let our limping champions have a rest after their efforts at the world championships are three heaviest weight category is work at the youngsters so of course we knew it would be. goal is to win everything but you can win the move will be sure though will win in the next olympics and the world championships so for thirty years running the moscow lights european nations cup has been a good way for europe's resting elite to end the calendar year this year however

seems to be little bit more significant what with olympic but now sealed and a revamp of the rules and many here will be hoping that it will stay in the olympic sports well beyond twenty twenty four like a. moscow. and after surviving that a lympics scare wrestling was among the forty one sports whose pictograms were unveiled for the rio olympics in twenty sixteen these images were first used at the nine hundred forty eight london games and have since become key symbols along with the a limping rings. while brazil also marked one thousand days to go before the games by opening an observatory at the rio and big park the nine meta tower overlooks the construction site where nine venues will host ten and then pick and ten paralympic sports in twenty six team the rio games are the first to be staged in south america . and there's less than ninety days to go before russia hosts their maiden

winter olympics in sochi and the torch to light up those games was taken on a space walk for the first time in history russian cosmonauts called off and so giddy as an ski pass the torch to each other to complete the first ever relay in outer space that torch will light the cauldron at the opening ceremony on february the seventh. and let's finish with a host of spectacular stunts from the night trace circus show which wowed the crowd here in moscow and michael kraft met some of the stars to find out what a night rose all about. gravity defying tricks jaw dropping stunts and a bit of slapstick entertainment is all in a day's work for the night to sixty it all started just over a decade ago as

a bunch of guys with my experience motorsports a strong feeling good bye and base jump start for a range of ends it's now a global and from morning to t.c. on the street as well as the full tool but despite the rapid rise the team still comes across as a bunch of guys doing stunts circus is you know it's like you know time a group of friends are pretty much like family and i were just like helping each other push each other's limits and just like you know support never go on and you know this is a great way that you know how to motivate people to see what your true potential isn't that they can really do anything and push their support really hard. twenty two year old aaron for the ring am has spinal bifida and is used a wheelchair since he was three d. performs tricks adapted from skateboarding be next in the lights customized chat with the suspension which cushions his landings but the most high octane stunts are by the freestyle motocross riders with their crazy tricks high in the air drawing

the biggest gusts from the crowd like a circus team or a close knit family as much as they are crazy individuals but they are all professionals and they include some of the best in the world just like exclaims blake williams so well as contests and. you have to push push the progression of the sport every single tony rodham after doing that i usually had a lot of crashes charland stuff and other people have a donna and even doing tricks that all done over the years that were pretty hard with this is more or less. so it's more about. not just being the best as an individual but running together as a group and you know that really counts because they are all together all the time on you know that when you go on upside down straight people water cross a downer. like i said it's more relaxed approach but it's still very dangerous and that's why. the group isn't exclusive to guys record breaking stuff. was the

first canadian women's motocross champion and the first woman to backflip a full sized. i never feel pressure i just and it being i know it everyone i think you're the only girl you must feel some type of pressure being the only girl but i don't i see myself as one of them and i'm always just trying to push myself and do awesome stuff like they are all the time and i just kind of you know have a focus on certain stunts that i want to do for my own personal being and i just go out there and get them. and that view is just one member of a very cost as the knights of group actions collective includes stars of extreme sports mountain bike and studer ride to ski the base jumpers snow in skateboarders and roller skaters plus a range of contraptions performed by experts in the field who want you to enjoy a truly unique show. and that's all the sport

by foot. this is obviously more for the ladies because it's pink. women wanted to avoid rape they really needed to buy guns environ how to use them i'm. sure this is the one that i want to go with for once again it's the fear of friends. women definitely a target of the gun lobby and you don't kill them when the killing might even if so many would you would describe her. i'm noticing more and more is this really scary marketing tactics which implies that women have some sort of moral obligation to own guns to protect their family and young girls shoot out here too so we do have a paying course. for kids young kids choke on food than are killed by firearms if being armed made us safer in america we should be the safest nation on

earth we're clearly not the safest. exactly what happened that day i don't know but a woman killed. piers later is when i got arrested. for a crime i did not do. we have numerous cases where police officers lie about polygraph results. innocent people to try to sue the police officers don't beat people anymore i mean it just doesn't happen really. in the course of interrogation why because there's been this is like meant no because the psychological techniques are more effective in obtaining confessions than physical abuse and they were they could do what they wanted they can say what they wanted and there was no evidence of what they did or what they said.
