Oh, God. Stitch.

I can't believe

you're working on me, man.

It's so awesome.

I'm having a crazy month

of meeting people.

Welcome to the UFC, huh?

Thank you.

It is gonna be very hard for

him to recover from that.

He took some bombs

in that round.

Man, so you want

to fight in the UFC?

The ground is not working.

No, I know. I see that.

It's not working.

He's so good there.

He knows everything.

Everything you taught me,

he knows better.

Stay on your feet.

Okay, yeah.

Don't get on the ground.

He knows everything.

And, Joe, Scott Voss has

got to do something different.

He's got to come up

with some sort of an answer,

but I don't know what

he's gonna be able to do.

Ready? Ready?

Fight!

Round two under way.

Voss comes out swinging.

He's got heart.

Come on, put your hands up!

Big counter.

Checks the kick.

Not that one.

He is taking some shots.

Oh, caught him!

Oh, he gets reversed!

Voss throws him off, though.

Very nice.

Oh, Showtime Kick!

Get up, Scott!

Pull! Guard!

Keep your hands up!

Get off your back!

If Voss has

anything left in his tank,

he's got to use it now.

The Executioner may

finish this fight right here.

Get out from under him!

Come on, Scott,

pull him on you!

Oh, this might be the end.

Voss is getting a beating!

Pull down, Scott!

- Come on!

- Get up, Scott!

Yes!

Nice, nice, nice, nice!

Oh! Watch out!

Dietrich clearly is trying to

get him out of there early,

but I am just amazed

that Voss can take all this.

They might stop this fight

in between rounds.

This guy is hurt.

Wrong corner, guy.

No, it was a good round.

It was a good one.

It was good.

No, wrong section.

Follow my voice.

Come on.

Over here.

Scott, listen to me, you've

got to stay away from him.

Okay, he's got to go

back to the ground.

Can I say something? The ground

was just as bad, though.

I'd really like

to say something.

It's the lesser of two evils.

I know, but...

Hey! I need to say something!

Okay. Take it easy.

I'm sorry, buddy.

I don't think I'm going

to be able to do this.

You've already done it.

To hell with my job.

Look up there.

Look at those kids.

I got to be honest, it's a

little blurry right now.

Then let me tell you

what you would see.

You would see

a bunch of our students

witnessing complete resolve

in the face of

an unbearable obstacle.

They are invested.

Scott, they're inspired.

That's what we're supposed

to do as teachers, right?

Inspire.

You can quit right now,

and everything

that we worked for

will have been accomplished.

You know, last night,

Mollie said to me on the phone

that you thought

I was your hero.

You're mine.

Third and final round.

I'll tell you what,

the third round

is going to be

very interesting,

'cause I don't know what they

said to Scott Voss in the corner,

but he is fired up.

Ready? Ready? Fight!

Oh, look at that.

Voss has earned

the respect of Dietrich.

Voss is slipping shots now, Mike.

Look at this.

He looks really comfortable

here in round three.

Keep moving.

Look to set it up.

Counter that jab.

Oh, Voss countered

with a big left jab!

Oh, that hurt him.

Flying knee by Voss!

Oh! He's all over him!

Dietrich reverses him here.

Oh, he kicks him off!

Voss is doing damage now.

Follow up!

Good job! Good job! Come on!

Oh! Big body shot!

Oh, he's hurt again!

Great combination.

Boom! Boom!

Go! Pull the punch!

Honey, honey,

should they be watching this?

They're fine!

Finish him!

Okay.

Come on!

Dietrich is in trouble.

Oh, now Voss is in trouble!

Put him out of his misery!

Oh, they are exchanging

like Don Frye and Takayama!

Great work in the clinch.

Come on!

Go, buddy! Go!

Both men trying to

finish this fight.

Go hard!

Go, Scott!

Go, go, go, go, go!

Dietrich is hurt bad, Mike!

He's got him up!

Voss on top.

Voss is winning this round!

Go! Nice!

Go, go! Let's go!

Dietrich is getting battered.

This is crazy!

This crowd is going nuts!

It is deafening in here!

What a great flurry.

Landing punches on Dietrich.

Oh, no! Oh, triangle!

Okay, don't let go.

Don't let go.

Don't lose that grip, Scott.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no!

Oh, Voss is in

trouble here, Mike!

This is not

good for Scott Voss.

Dietrich switches to an arm bar.

Voss has got to defend.

He's got to keep those hands

clasped together.

He can't let go of that grip.

Don't lose that grip!

Do not lose that grip!

Hold on tighter!

No!

Stack him up!

Oh, no, it's deep!

Come on, stack him up!

Stack him up!

Put that body weight on him!

Okay, Scott,

get back to that grip!

You know what to do!

I showed you this!

Oh, Voss is in

a lot of trouble here.

He may tap.

Oh, this is crazy!

He defends!

Oh, he's got him up!

Oh, he's out!

- He's out!

- It is all over!

Yes! Yes!

Scott Voss wins his UFC debut!

Scott Voss by knockout.

Yeah!

He did it!

When you think

about the dedication

this guy has shown,

the sacrifices

and the risks he made,

all for those kids,

that guy is a hero.

We won!

Good job, man.

Good job.

Scott! Scott!

Scott! Scott!

Scott!

You were awesome. You won.

Are you ready to kiss me now?

'Cause I'm ready.

I am.

One down.

Go down one, this one.

No, this one. One over.

You are powerful!

Is there anybody better? No!

Thank you, Scott.

Your donation was

more than generous.

It's going to keep our school in

the black for quite some time.

Hey, could I get

that vacation day back?

Not a chance.

Didn't think so.

Yeah.

Don't you have a class?

I do. I do. I'm going.

Okay. Bye-bye.

Congratulations.

You are now citizens of

the United States of America.

Yeah!

I citizen!

I citizen two times!

- Twisty!

- Twisty!

Twisty!

Twisty!

Viva America!

Viva America!
