A momentary lapse in concentration from Myres enables Toivonen to shoot in and score with a neat double leg. Myres manages to secure a closed guard as the fighters hit the mat.#SUB#
Myres working from the bottom, still in full guard. He's managed to get a loose triangle. Toivonen doesn't seem to be doing much to defend here, obviously he feels comfortable in the position. Oh but Myres is tightening it up a little... Toivonen has to be careful here... He's got his foot tucked under now, this looks tight! Toivonen reacted too slowly and this one could be over in a matter of seconds! YES! Toivonen taps out! Nice BJJ there by Myres!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:18 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle Choke). Shane Myres!
Shane Myres decided to go for the less than humble approach in his post fight interview, telling everyone how he is going to conquer the world. The crowd seemed to like it when really that sort of approach could have gone either way.

Catos throws a big overhand right that connects, sending Toivonen tumbling to the canvas!#ROC#
Toivonen is rocked!#CUT#
It looks like Niki Toivonen has been cut.
The fighters are pressed up against the cage, both looking to find a bit of space to work.#SUB#
Catos drops back looking for a submission - "I'm sorry sir, but I'm gunna break your leg" says Catos as he cranks on the unfortunate limb! Toivonen screams and taps out before any major damage is done! Don't mess with Catos! Nice submission victory there!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:18 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Kneebar). Scotty Catos!
An out of breath Scotty Catos thanked his loyal fans in his post fight interview, giving them credit for his success over the course of his career.
