The bell rings for round one and we are underway!

Adams closes the distance and gets a trip takedown into side control. Laizel quickly recovers to half guard.
Adams really does look like a pencil wearing a pair of gloves. Let's hope he has a gameplan to suit that ridiculous body shape.
Adams looks towards his corner to check for any instructions. The corner give him nothing to work with, so he cracks Laizel with a short hammerfist. I guess that's as good as any advice he could get in this position.

Laizel moves his hips nicely and gets into full guard.

Laizel is looking to cinch up a triangle. Adams throws the leg off to one side though and gets in tight to Laizel's body to avoid the submission. Laizel has instead reached around Adams's neck and now has a guillotine! Oh, this is biiiig trouble! Laizel arches his back and squeezes and forces the tap from his hapless opponent.
