The bell rings for round one and we are underway! Rivera keeps the fight standing with a nice sprawl. No luck with that takedown attempt from Malapitan. Malapitan shoots in for a takedown - he's clinched up with Rivera but Rivera pushes him off and we're back to square one. Angel Rivera has stuffed three takedown attempts in the round now. That's going to take a lot out of Raje Malapitan. Malapitan looks frustrated there after his takedown attempt is stuffed easily. Horrible takedown by Malapitan or perhaps it was just good defense by Rivera which made him look bad. Malapitan closes the distance and scores a nice trip takedown into half guard. Rivera did well to prevent Malapitan getting side control. Malapitan maintaining the dominant position here and is working for a kimura. He's locked it up! Rivera could be in real trouble here! He's trying to wriggle out but Malapitan has cracked it and Rivera is screaming in pain - he's tapped out! Great finish by Malapitan!
