That's two minutes gone in the round. Harri sitting in half guard, looking to land shots. Frettish defending well though. Harri passes to side control. Harri tries to advance to mount but can't. We've seen a great period of action over the last minute or so - credit to both fighters for going all out! Harri fails to land a wild elbow strike.
Harri tries for an arm triangle. That looks pretty tight to me. Is this one over!?! Possibly, maybe, no Harri has let go of the choke. Obviously it wasn't as tight as we thought! Frettish struggling a bit here.
That's three minutes gone in the round. Harri looking to punish the body of his opponent here but Frettish is avoiding damage well.
Harri has an Americana. Frettish didn't react quickly enough there and he's in big trouble now! He tries to squirm out but is forced to tap! Harri is delighted and gyrates in front of the ring girls. They seem to like the attention - it'll be interesting to see if Harri hooks up with any of them at the after show party.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:36 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Americana). Hullu Harri!
