The bell rings for round one and we are underway! Laurinaitis feints and then dives in with a takedown. That was a long way out but the feint bought him enough time to close the distance and complete the takedown. Now we'll play guard for a bit and see who can get the better of that position. Laurinaitis throws a strike but Thireloth rolls with it and manages to sweep. Now he's in guard on top. Laurinaitis can't keep his opponent in guard - Thireloth advances to half guard, no doubt looking to mount. Thireloth is looking for a kimura but he's never going to get it from there. Thireloth seems to be working for a kimura but Laurinaitis defends the submission attempt. Laurinaitis really doesn't want to stay on the ground with Thireloth. If he can't get it back to his feet, it's only a matter of time before he'll be tapping out. Laurinaitis is looking to regain full guard. Not this time though. Laurinaitis is trying to control but Thireloth passes into side control!
Laurinaitis wants to control but Thireloth postures up.
That's one minute gone in the round. Laurinaitis keeping his opponent close. Thireloth has an Americana. Laurinaitis didn't react quickly enough there and he's in big trouble now! He tries to squirm out but is forced to tap! Thireloth is delighted and gyrates in front of the ring girls. They seem to like the attention - it'll be interesting to see if Thireloth hooks up with any of them at the after show party.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:29 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Americana). Daral Thireloth!
