Vizotto gets caught flat footed, as Blunts shoots in with a quick takedown into guard. We could do with one of the fighters taking the initiative a bit more on the ground - they're both waiting to capitalize on a mistake. Vizotto has a loose triangle. He'll be looking to tighten that up but Blunts can see exactly what he's planning and manages to posture up and free himself. Blunts's corner is telling him to maintain position. Blunts has a momentary lapse of concentration, allowing Vizotto to throw up a leg and lock on what appears to be a pretty tight triangle! Blunts is fighting it off but it's all too little too late - Vizotto pulls down on the head and he's put Blunts to sleep! This one is all over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:05 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle). Fernando Vizotto!
