Ladies and gentlemen. This fight is 3 rounds, in the bantamweight division. Introducing the fighter to my left, fighting out of the red corner. With a record of
1 - 0 - 0, fighting out of Sydney, Oleg Karelin! And introducing the fighter to my right, fighting out of the blue corner. With a record of
1 - 1 - 0, fighting out of Sydney, Gaylord Focker! The judges for this bout are Steve Erwin, John Mangel and Eliza Hachem.
The bell rings for round one and we are underway! Focker feints and then dives in with a takedown. That was a long way out but the feint bought him enough time to close the distance and complete the takedown. Now we'll play guard for a bit and see who can get the better of that position. Focker wants to pass the guard but Karelin is keeping the position. Karelin manages to land a sweep and now he's in mount on top!
Karelin is standing up out of mount! Strange tactic there - he must really want this one on the feet! Karelin tries to close the distance and clinch up but Focker swats him away and circles back towards the center. Focker darts in and lands a nice takedown into half guard. Focker is thinking about going for an arm triangle but he can't free his leg.
Focker has hold of the far side arm. He's working for the Kimura, can Karelin defend it? Focker steps over the head and cranks it - Karelin is tapping out! That was textbook stuff right there - nice submission victory for Focker!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:41 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Kimura). Gaylord Focker!
