Bozzi is trying to keep Puno in close. #T1##SUB#
Puno stands over his opponent and dives in with a flying punch! Bozzi throws up his legs and catches Puno in a triangle! Oh this looks tight! Puno tries to escape but he's forced to tap! Wow, fantastic work there by Bozzi! That came out of nowhere!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:20 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle Choke). Jason Bozzi!
Jason Bozzi seemed lost for words in his post fight interview but he remembered to thank his fans and directed everyone to his website.
