The bell rings for round one and we are underway!

Murdock closes the distance, clinches up and gets a nice trip takedown into side control. Very smooth.
You can see the frustration on Zyb's face, being in this tough position on the bottom.

Murdock is working to tighten his grip on Zyb's neck. He's isolated an arm and is working for an arm triangle. Zyb has recognised the danger and is trying to turn with the submission but Murdock is really squeezing tight and eventually Zyb passes out! Murdock breaks the hold and jumps onto the cage to celebrate! Submission of the night, I'd say!
