Chai wants to clinch
and Christ counters with a nice double leg into side control. Chai won't be happy with that. Score +4 for clean takedown past guard: Chai (0) vs (4) Christ
We could do with one of the fighters taking the initiative a bit more on the ground - they're both waiting to capitalize on a mistake.
A bit of a lull in the action. I'm sure it will pick up again soon... even if the ref has to physically pick them up and put them back on their feet.
Christ has knee on belly and moves into mount. Score +2 for reaching mount: Chai (0) vs (6) Christ
Chai tries to improve his position but Christ has taken his back! Christ has a choke - it's sunk in pretty tight... Will Chai tap? No... maybe... yes! He's tapped! Christ pushes Chai away and gets up to celebrate with his corner!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:51 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (RNC). Johan Christ!
After winning the bout, Johan Christ thanked all his fans and promised he'd do even better in his next fight. The crowd seemed to love his humility. |
