Young keeping moving, preventing Shaw from controlling successfully. #T1##SUB#
Shaw drops back for a leg here. A bit of a high risk move... He's looking for a kneebar by the looks of things. Now both of them are looking for submissions. Shaw seems to have locked his on tight now - Young screams in pain and taps out furiously! It certainly was a high risk move but it's paid off for Shaw, as he picks up the win!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:30 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Kneebar). Jackson Shaw!
After the fight, Jackson Shaw was humble in paying tribute to his opponent but made it clear he wants to go on to bigger and better things. It seemed to go down well with the crowd who cheered him loudly.
