Snead displaying good standup as he scores with a three punch combination.
We can't be sure of the tactics at this early stage but we have heard that Snead 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.
Sloppy strikes from Snead. Those never looked like landing.
Wow, both these guys are really going for it!

Snead paws at his opponent with the jab and then lunges in with a straight, right on the button.
Snead will need to tighten up his combinations if he doesn't want to gas himself out, swinging at thin air.

Li postures up as if he's going to throw some strikes but drops back for an ankle! Snead is in big trouble! He looks ready to tap! But no, he's escaped and dives on top of Li, into his guard.
We've seen a great period of action over the last minute or so - credit to both fighters for going all out!

Li is working actively from the bottom, looking for submissions. He's escaped his hips to the side and he's going for an armbar! Snead has his hands clasped together but Li extends and breaks Snead's desperate grasp, forcing a tap out due to armbar! Nice BJJ displayed there by Li.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:56 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). John Li!
