The bell rings for round one and we are underway! Murdock shoots in looking for a single leg takedown. Phillips is trying to defend but Murdock finishes it well and ends up in half guard. Let's see if he can advance position further. Phillips is trying to maintain the position but Murdock is very close to passing his half guard. Murdock lands with an elbow from half guard - that looked like it hurt. Murdock looks towards his corner to check for any instructions. The corner give him nothing to work with, so he cracks Phillips with a short hammerfist. I guess that's as good as any advice he could get in this position. Phillips taking some punishment here, with Murdock in his half guard. Murdock is keen to just control but Phillips is a slippery customer. Murdock winds up and cracks Phillips with a swinging punch to the side of the head. Murdock scoring with strikes to the body and head. Murdock has hold of the far side arm. He's working for the Kimura, can Phillips defend it? Murdock steps over the head and cranks it - Phillips is tapping out! That was textbook stuff right there - nice submission victory for Murdock!
