And in the blue corner, fighting out of Rio de Janeiro, with a TWGC record of 0 wins and 0 losses; Francisco Ferreira! The judges for this bout are Don Winkell, Frank Antenori and Jack Bonds.
The fighters connect hands in the middle of the mat and we are under way. Ferreira shoots for a takedown but Esteves saw that one coming a mile off and avoided it easily. Esteves attempts a counter takedown but Ferreira avoids it well and moves away. Ferreira closes the distance and pushes Esteves back into the cage. Esteves pulls guard successfully.
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. Esteves has managed to work for a loose triangle. I think Ferreira should be able to defend this one pretty easily though. Oh, Esteves has tightened it up now! Ferreira should have reacted faster there - he's in big trouble and yes, he's tapped out! This one is all over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:34 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle). Vartan Esteves! Vartan Esteves decided to thank the fans in attendance for making a great atmosphere. It seemed to go down pretty well. |
