Let's get this grappling contest under way! Who will be victorious?
Bennett shoots in from a long way out. He's driving through with the takedown attempt and he eventually gets it, landing in Helenius's guard. Score +2 for takedown into guard / half guard: Bennett (2) vs (0) Helenius
Helenius working from the bottom, still in full guard. He's managed to get a loose triangle. Bennett doesn't seem to be doing much to defend here, obviously he feels comfortable in the position. Bennett manages to throw the legs off his shoulder and he's back into guard - no problem.
Helenius 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! Bennett rolls with it to try and escape but Helenius cranks on the arm and Bennett is forced to tap out! This one is aaaaaaaaall over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:21 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). Rupert Helenius!
