Strikes takes an elbow right on the bridge of the nose and winces in pain.
The ref warns both fighters not to hold the cage as they work up against the meshing.
Azure grinds an elbow into Strikes's temple.
Azure is working to tighten is grip on Strikes's neck. He's isolated an arm and is working for an arm triangle. Strikes has recognised the danger and is trying to turn with the submission but Azure is really squeezing tight and eventually Strikes passes out! Azure breaks the hold and jumps onto the cage to celebrate! Submission of the night, I'd say!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:53 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Arm Triangle). Mr Azure!
