The bell rings for round one and we are underway! Both fighters are only really looking to counter, so after a good 30 seconds of circling each other endlessly, the referee has stepped in and told them both to be more aggressive. Edmund has closed the distance and engaged Santiago in a clinch.
Santiago pulls guard effortlessly. Santiago looking for a sweep. Not yet Santiago, not yet. Santiago is actively looking for submissions from his back. He's worked himself a little space on the bottom and seems to be going for a triangle. No, he's switched into an armbar! That was slick! Edmund rolls with it to try and escape but Santiago cranks on the arm and Edmund is forced to tap out! This one is aaaaaaaaall over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:58 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). Valentino Santiago! Valentino Santiago retains his middleweight title! After winning the bout, Valentino Santiago thanked all his fans and promised he'd do even better in his next fight. The crowd seemed to love his humility.
