SAFO 50: Kong vs Namasuzuki PBP Commentary |
The bell rings for round one and we are underway! Kyshenko shoots in looking for a double leg takedown. Stallion defends it nicely. Stallion connects with a single shot there. Kyshenko closes the distance and gets a double leg, slamming Stallion to the mat! Stallion manages to get full guard. Stallion tries to land a sweep but no joy. Kyshenko drops back, looking for a kneebar! Stallion looks panicked! The fighters roll across the mat, one looking to finish, one looking to escape. Stallion looks to have wriggled free... Yes, he's got his leg free and he's dived into side control! Good work there from Stallion! Kyshenko tries to bench press Stallion off him but Stallion keeps the position. We've had a slow start to the round here - hopefully the action picks up. Stallion content to control the pace. The referee will try and keep them active though.
That's one minute gone in the round. Kyshenko tries to get back to half guard but can't. A bit of a lull in the action. I'm sure it will pick up again soon... even if the ref has to physically pick them up and put them back on their feet. Kyshenko manages to land a sweep and he's now on top! Lovely Jiu Jitsu! Kyshenko is thinking about going for an arm triangle but he can't free his leg.
Kyshenko has hold of the far side arm. He's working for the Kimura, can Stallion defend it? Kyshenko steps over the head and cranks it - Stallion is tapping out! That was textbook stuff right there - nice submission victory for Kyshenko!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:48 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Kimura). Raul Kyshenko! A less than humble Raul Kyshenko misjudged his post fight interview somewhat and came across a little too arrogant whilst trying to hype up his own abilities.
