Millit rushes Visconti and pushes him back against the cage in a clinch.

Millit is trying to trip Visconti. He has hold of a leg but Visconti is hopping around, keeping his balance for the moment. Millit persists though and gets the takedown into guard.

Millit has a momentary lapse of concentration, allowing Visconti to throw up a leg and lock on what appears to be a pretty tight triangle! Millit is fighting it off but it's all too little too late - Visconti pulls down on the head and he's put Millit to sleep! This one is all over!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:25 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle). Michael Visconti!
