The bell rings for round one and we are underway! Thomas closes the distance and clinches up with Jones, looking for a takedown. Thomas pushes Jones against the ropes but Jones circles to the side and manages to break the clinch. Thomas looks really tired already! That doesn't bode well for a good, competitive fight! No luck with that takedown attempt from Thomas. Jones looking to shoot here. He's gone for it and he's landed a takedown into mount! Oh, that's bad for Thomas! Jones controlling the pace for now. Thomas wants to control but Jones is having none of it.
That's one minute gone in the round. Jones looking to control and managing it successfully. We get told so often about how wrestlers don't like to be on their backs. Let's see if Thomas can do anything to dispel that myth. Thomas throwing hammer fists to the chest of Jones. What's that going to do exactly? Jones sitting in mount, just looking to control for the moment. Jones has control of Thomas's right arm, working for a kimura. It's a bit of a token attempt though and Thomas regains control of the situation pretty easily.
Jones really does look like a pencil wearing a pair of gloves. Let's hope he has a gameplan to suit that ridiculous body shape.
That's two minutes gone in the round. The crowd are starting to boo a lack of action. Jones controlling from mount. Jones working for a submission here. He's tucked his head under his opponent's arm, looking for an arm triangle. He's hopped off into side control, looking to tighten the submission... is it going to work? He's given up a good position looking for it. Thomas looks OK. Oh, I spoke too soon, he's out! That must have been tighter than I thought! Excellent work there by Jones! Submission of the night perhaps?
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:39 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Arm Triangle). Jon Jones!
