Excellent takedown into side control there by Buddha. Nimoy looking for a sweep but Buddha has passed into full mount! Oh no! Nimoy stops Buddha from taking his back. Still, being mounted isn't any better. Nimoy is in all sorts of trouble here.
The ref warns both fighters not to hold the cage as they work up against the meshing. BOOM! Buddha connects with a massive shot to the dome!
Nimoy defends a decent attempt at a guillotine from Buddha. Nimoy is squirming around, avoiding Buddha's attempts to control the action. Buddha with good strikes from the mount here! This is a great period of action - very entertaining stuff! Buddha controlling from mount.

My spies in Animal Fight Club inform me that Buddha has been getting involved in the gym's BJJ sparring sessions. Let's see whether that pays dividends! Buddha can't quite control the action as he would like just now, as Nimoy is looking to escape. Buddha misses with a head shot. Buddha tries to control but Nimoy wriggling away. Buddha has the superior BJJ but he's also working some ground strikes into his gameplan.
Nimoy defends a decent attempt at a guillotine from Buddha. Buddha moves to the back position.
![](https://www.mmatycoon.com/images/fight/2.gif) That's two minutes gone in the round. Buddha is not going to allow Nimoy to sit and survive in this position. Well, with Buddha on his back, surely it's only a matter of time before Nimoy is tapping out... Can he escape the position? Buddha is working the ground and pound here and the referee is taking a close look at Nimoy. He must escape soon or this one will be stopped. Nimoy knows he needs to get back to his feet asap. He's simply no match for Buddha on the ground.
Buddha has the rear naked choke here! This is very bad for Nimoy! Can he survive? No! He's out! Buddha gets to his feet and celebrates with his cornermen. He looks absolutely delighted. In the post fight interviews he takes time to thank his parents and everyone who has believed in him from the start. How sweet.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:41 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (RNC). Samson Buddha! Samson Buddha thanked the fans post fight for their support.
