The bell rings for round one and we are underway! Thomas drives through with a takedown into OReily's guard. Let's see what he can do from the top position.

The fighters are pressed up against the cage, both looking to find a bit of space to work. OReily not looking particularly offensive just at the moment.

Thomas got a little sloppy there for a moment and OReily has worked his way into a loose triangle - can he finish it?! No, Thomas has managed to get both his arms back between OReily's legs - danger averted. Thomas tries to free his leg and advance position but OReily is retaining full guard. Thomas is taking a break and basically stalling. The referee will not allow him to do that for long. Thomas working from the guard for now, landing some ground and pound. Thomas wants to control from the top but OReily keeps moving. The crowd are loving this. Great action here. OReily is working from a closed guard but he's struggling to control his opponent.
That's one minute gone in the round. OReily has managed to work for a loose triangle. I think Thomas should be able to defend this one pretty easily though. Oh, OReily has tightened it up now! Thomas should have reacted faster there - he's in big trouble and yes, he's tapped out! This one is all over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:23 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle). Ryan OReily! A less than humble Ryan OReily misjudged his post fight interview somewhat and came across a little too arrogant whilst trying to hype up his own abilities.
