The bell rings for round one and we are underway! James drives through with a really nice takedown into side control. The referee is pacing around the two fighters - he looks like he's thinking about a standup. James tries for an arm triangle. That looks pretty tight to me. Is this one over!?! Possibly, maybe, no James has let go of the choke. Obviously it wasn't as tight as we thought! James wants to work for a kimura but he's foiled early by Fronning, who protects the arm well.

That's one minute gone in the round. James looking for an arm triangle but it's way too loose to do anything. James thinks about going for a far side armbar but bails out and retains the dominant position instead. James advances to full mount.
That's two minutes gone in the round. James looking to secure an arm triangle but Fronning defends it well. Fronning is trying to escape the mount but James keeps good control and instead manages to take Fronning's back.
Wooooo! Give it up for these two warriors! They are putting on a show! James is working for the choke. He's slipped one arm under the chin. Fronning has to defend the other arm for all he's worth... but James has managed to get that arm free too and he's tightening the choke! Fronning taps out and looks absolutely disgusted with himself. James doesn't care though - he's delighted!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:53 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (RNC). Rick James!
