The bell rings for round one and we are underway!

Kong closes the distance and looks for a trip takedown... aaaand he's got it - Kong lands in his opponent's guard.
Zouma is looking to stand back up but Kong counters by passing into half guard. Oops... bit sloppy there by Zouma.
Kong controlling the action here.
It looks like Kong might be adopting somewhat of a lay and pray gameplan here, which I'm sure won't go down too well with the paying fans in attendance... Or the ring announcers come to think of it.
Kong is pressing down on Zouma's thigh, looking to free his foot. Zouma is holding on for now.
My spies in Island Top Team inform me that Kong has been getting involved in the gym's BJJ sparring sessions. Let's see whether that pays dividends!
We've had a slow start to the round here - hopefully the action picks up.

Kong is trying a forearm choke… I don't think that's going to do much at this level of the game.
Zouma knows he needs to get back to his feet asap. He's simply no match for Kong on the ground.

Kong is working for a submission here. He's got hold of the far side arm and he's looking for a kimura. He's cranking on the arm and he's got it! Zouma is tapping out! Ouch, that looked like it hurt!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:57 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Kimura). King Kong!
In his post fight interview, King Kong started talking himself up. Luckily his charisma kept the crowd on side and gave him a good reception.
