The bell rings for round one and we are underway! Pudzianowski motions for Manivong to come forward. Pudzianowski throws a leg kick but it misses it's target. Manivong shoots in and bounces Pudzianowski off the cage to secure the takedown into guard. Manivong trying to land body shots but he keeps hitting the mat. Manivong has been talking about how he's improved his wrestling in the run up to the fight so let's see if that's enough to sway the balance. Manivong sitting in guard, not really doing much. Pudzianowski looking to control.
We've had a slow start to the round here - hopefully the action picks up. Manivong slows down the pace of the fight for a moment. He'll need to remain active if he doesn't want to see the fight stood back up. Manivong passes easily into side control. Nice work. Manivong remains in side control and seems content to stay there. It's a versatile position from which he can work both strikes and submissions, whilst maintaining that control, so maybe he'll sit here for a while. The ref warns both fighters not to hold the cage as they work up against the meshing.
That's one minute gone in the round. Manivong is in a dominant position here, looking for a kimura. Pudzianowski looks calm but he's in trouble here. Manivong gets his leg over his opponent's head and yanks on the arm. Pudzianowski is tapping like a morse code operator on the titanic! SOS! SOS! Manivong lets go of the hold and Pudzianowski can pop his arm back in it's socket.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:25 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Kimura). Akuma Manivong! A very excited looking Akuma Manivong rambled incoherently for about 5 minutes post fight about how awesome he is. It was kinda funny for a while but then everyone got annoyed.
