Roberts scores a trip takedown into side control. Nice.
The crowd are loving this. Great action here.
Kivipelto is sneaking out the side here. He's bucked Roberts off and has taken his back!
Roberts is really stuck here.
Kivipelto connects with a series of strikes and the referee is calling for Roberts to escape the position.
#SUB2#
Kivipelto has the hooks in and he's looking for a rear naked choke here. Roberts is defending well but eventually Kivipelto manages to get an arm under the chin and he's locked on the RNC! Roberts has no choice but to tap now! He does! This one is all over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:58 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (RNC). Kalle Kivipelto!
Kalle Kivipelto very nearly forgot to thank Voodoo Nutrition amongst all the excitement of his win but just as the interview came to a close, he screamed their name. Hopefully he'll get a few nice freebies in the mail as a thank you.
