The bell rings for round one and we are underway!
Graham rushes forward with a series of wild hooks but Kaho moves out of range and avoids them all easily.
We can't be sure of the tactics at this early stage but we have heard that Kaho has been working on his takedowns a lot in the buildup to the fight and we can only assume he's going to look to take this to the mat.
Graham falls off balance throwing a combination

and Kaho counters with a nice double leg into guard.

Kaho drops back looking for a leg! Graham is in trouble here! The fighters roll with the hold and Graham manages to kick Kaho off! Kaho jumps back into Graham's guard.

Kaho has gone for a leg lock! Graham slips out almost immediately though and dives into Kaho's guard.

Kaho has managed to work for a loose triangle. I think Graham should be able to defend this one pretty easily though. Oh, Kaho has tightened it up now! Graham should have reacted faster there - he's in big trouble and yes, he's tapped out! This one is all over!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:57 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle). Viavao Kaho!
A relieved looking Viavao Kaho thanked the fans for their support and gave the usual line about them being amazing. They seemed to believe that he actually meant it.
