The bell rings for round one and we are underway!

James bobs and weaves into range and then changes levels and scores with a nice takedown into side control.
Hardwood really doesn't want to stay on the ground with James. If he can't get it back to his feet, it's only a matter of time before he'll be tapping out.
Hardwood looks really tired already! That doesn't bode well for a good, competitive fight!

James is working to tighten his grip on Hardwood's neck. He's isolated an arm and is working for an arm triangle. Hardwood has recognised the danger and is trying to turn with the submission but James is really squeezing tight and eventually Hardwood passes out! James breaks the hold and jumps onto the cage to celebrate! Submission of the night, I'd say!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:18 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Arm Triangle). Jayden James!
