The bell rings for round one and we are underway! Dowal shoots in for a takedown - he's clinched up with Nelson but Nelson pushes him off and we're back to square one. Nelson shoots in but no luck this time. Dowal drives through with a takedown into guard. Dowal drops back looking for a heel hook - he quickly realises he's not going to get it but Nelson manages to dive on top of him before he can escape and now Dowal has Nelson in his guard. Dowal looking for submissions from the bottom here. Moving his hips around, possibly looking for an armbar.
Nelson throws a big right hand that misses. The fighters are tangled up in the ropes here. We might need a restart if the fighters can't break free themselves. Nelson is trying to tuck his arms in to keep them safe but Dowal has managed to isolate one of them and has got a loose triangle. Nelson is looking to defend but Dowal has done well to lock his legs together - this could be big trouble for Nelson! Dowal pulls down on the head and a little smile comes across his face - he knows he's got it. Yep, Nelson taps out and this one is all over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:53 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle). Steve Dowal! Steve Dowal really struggled to get his t-shirt on before his hand was raised. Making sure that Hellraiser Fightgear ($10-$20 Clothing) logo gets some air time is pretty tricky when you're all sweaty.
