The bell rings for round one and we are underway!

Di Vaio gets the takedown into side control.

Di Vaio tries for an arm triangle. That looks pretty tight to me. Is this one over!?! Possibly, maybe, no Di Vaio has let go of the choke. Obviously it wasn't as tight as we thought!

Vimes wants to improve his position, back to half guard but Di Vaio has ideas of his own. He's got hold of Vimes's far side arm and it looks like he's got an Americana. Ohh! Ohhhh! OOOOOOOOOH! A human being's arm is not meant to bend like that! Vimes is tapping like a morse code operator on the Titanic! SOS SOS! He's out of here! Great win for Di Vaio!
