The bell rings for round one and we are underway!
Em goes for a double leg but Wallace avoids the attempt and the two fighters end up clinched against the cage as Wallace continues to drive forward.
Wallace should think about turning a few of those tyres round his middle into muscle if he wants people to take him seriously as an athlete.
Em breaks the clinch.
Em looks frustrated there after his takedown attempt is stuffed easily.
Wallace bobs and weaves into range and then changes levels and scores with a nice takedown into side control.
Wallace working the ground and pound.
 Em is rocked!
Wallace is in a dominant position here, looking for a kimura. Em looks calm but he's in trouble here. Wallace gets his leg over his opponent's head and yanks on the arm. Em is tapping like a morse code operator on the titanic! SOS! SOS! Wallace lets go of the hold and Em can pop his arm back in it's socket.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:40 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Kimura). Raiden Wallace!
Raiden Wallace seemed lost for words in his post fight interview but he remembered to thank his fans and directed everyone to his website.
