The bell rings for round one and we are underway!
Avery lands with a nice combination. Vladivich backs away looking to recover.

Vladivich decides to change it up a bit and drives through with a nice takedown into half guard.
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.

Vladivich thows an elbow strike that misses. Avery gets hold of full guard and has managed to get a loose guillotine attempt. Vladivich doesn't seem too bothered but Avery quickly shifts his position and has tightened the hold! Vladivich is in big trouble now - he's going a funny colour - he's tapping out! Nice finish there! Vladivich really should have spotted the danger earlier though... either incompetence or over-confidence has resulted in a big L on his record.

Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:23 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Guillotine). Lance Avery!
