The bell rings for round one and we are underway! Apostolou shoots in for a takedown and gets it. Let's see what he's got on the mat. We could do with one of the fighters taking the initiative a bit more on the ground - they're both waiting to capitalize on a mistake. Banter not looking particularly offensive just at the moment.

Apostolou is looking to advance position but Banter has hit a scissor sweep - now he's on top in mount! Banter punishing his opponent with strikes. Apostolou tries to reverse the position but Banter maintains control. Apostolou tries to hold on but Banter postures up. Banter can't quite control the action as he would like just now, as Apostolou is looking to escape. Banter is standing up, even though he is in mount.
That's one minute gone in the round. Apostolou manages to get an easy takedown there - catching Banter on his heels. He'll look to pass Banter's guard now, I'm sure. Apostolou is sitting in close to Banter's body. Banter has gone for a guillotine from the bottom. Oh damn, that looks pretty tight! Apostolou is panicking - it looks like this one could be all over! Yes, Apostolou is tapping! That was a very nice submission by Banter.
