The bell rings for round one and we are underway! Crawford throws a body kick that misses so Salter counters with a double leg into guard. Good agility. Crawford looks really tired already! That doesn't bode well for a good, competitive fight! Salter content to stall in guard here. Salter drops back looking for a heel hook - he quickly realises he's not going to get it but Crawford manages to dive on top of him before he can escape and now Salter has Crawford in his guard.
Salter has a loose triangle. He'll be looking to tighten that up but Crawford can see exactly what he's planning and manages to posture up and free himself. Crawford trying to control the position from guard on top but Salter is wriggling around, looking for whatever he can. We've had a slow start to the round here - hopefully the action picks up. Salter working from the bottom, still in full guard. He's managed to get a loose triangle. Crawford doesn't seem to be doing much to defend here, obviously he feels comfortable in the position. Oh but Salter is tightening it up a little... Crawford has to be careful here... He's got his foot tucked under now, this looks tight! Crawford reacted too slowly and this one could be over in a matter of seconds! YES! Crawford taps out! Nice BJJ there by Salter!
