The bell rings for round one and we are underway! Taylor throws the overhand right but ducks down into a quick takedown attempt.

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. Miller looks exhausted already! Oh dear, he should have come in in better shape than this! Taylor drops back for a leg! It's a sloppy attempt though and Taylor jumps back into guard quickly, to retain the dominant position.

Taylor wants to work for a kimura but he's foiled early by Miller, who protects the arm well. Taylor lands some shots froms side control. Taylor is in a dominant position here, looking for a kimura. Miller looks calm but he's in trouble here. Taylor gets his leg over his opponent's head and yanks on the arm. Miller is tapping like a morse code operator on the titanic! SOS! SOS! Taylor lets go of the hold and Miller can pop his arm back in it's socket.
