Yamamoto comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Yada Yada Yada By : Tech N9ne kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Yoshimitsu Yamamoto struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 146.7lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Jon Jones looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.

Nara looking to control and managing it successfully.

Nara is controlling this nicely and is looking to make no mistakes. Red is trying to wiggle out of this horrible position. Red flips to his side and attempts to get a leg in for half guard. Nara anticipates the leg and manages to get behind Red and secures both hooks! This could be bad! Nara slips an arm under Red chin and tries to position for a rear naked choke. Nara has worked the choke in now and it looks tight. Nara is squeezing on Red like an anaconda would it's prey. Red fails to tap and has fallen unconscious! We've got ourselves a winner by way of a rear naked choke!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:52 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (RNC). Shin Nara!
Shin Nara retains his lightweight title!
