Filipescu preventing the ground and pound from doing any damage.
We've been hearing good reports from Kartal's training camp. Apparently he has been rolling around with some good quality BJJ practitioners and has been sharpening his skills. Let's see if that has an impact on the fight today.
Filipescu working from the bottom, still in full guard. He's managed to get a loose triangle. Kartal doesn't seem to be doing much to defend here, obviously he feels comfortable in the position. Oh but Filipescu is tightening it up a little... Kartal has to be careful here... He's got his foot tucked under now, this looks tight! Kartal reacted too slowly and this one could be over in a matter of seconds! YES! Kartal taps out! Nice BJJ there by Filipescu!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:35 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle Choke). Nicolae Filipescu!
A very excited looking Nicolae Filipescu made sure he remembered to thank all the fans both in the arena and on the internet. He said all the coolest people spend all day on MMA websites, which got a big reaction.
