Ladies and gentlemen. This fight is 3 rounds, for the bantamweight championship of the world! Introducing the champion to my left, fighting out of the red corner. With a record of 8 - 0 - 0, fighting out of Hilo, Mikael Li! And introducing the challenger to my right, fighting out of the blue corner. With a record of 2 - 0 - 0, fighting out of London, Wathjee Johnson! The judges for this bout are Daniel Bishop, James Atkins and Steven Brown.
The bell rings for round one and we are underway! Li takes a jab on the nose. He smiles like he loves it and keeps coming. Nice defenses there by Li. Johnson stuffs a takedown. It's all about dictating where the fight takes place and Johnson wants it to stay on the feet. Li shoots in and scores a nice double leg takedown into half guard. Li seems content to maintain position for now, rather than mounting any offense. Johnson tries to push off, looking to stand up, but Li manages to move to mount!
We've had a slow start to the round here - hopefully the action picks up. Li has hold of Johnson's left arm, perhaps looking for a submission. The two fighters tussle over control of the isolated limb and Johnson manages to get his arm back to his side and away from danger.
That's one minute gone in the round. Johnson wants to get back to his feet but in bucking up he's left an arm hanging out! Li has locked onto it and has pulled off a slick armbar! Johnson taps furiously! This one is all over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:09 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). Mikael Li! Mikael Li retains his bantamweight title! In defeat, Wathjee Johnson stepped up to the mic, saying 'Sometimes god gifts another man his victory, today wasn’t mines. We’ll be back.'.
