Ladies and gentlemen. This fight is 3 rounds, in the welterweight division. Introducing the fighter to my left, fighting out of the red corner. With a record of
8 - 4 - 0, fighting out of London, Jacoby Lombard! And introducing the fighter to my right, fighting out of the blue corner. With a record of
7 - 4 - 0, fighting out of New York, Mibon Rapthlaka! The judges for this bout are Dmitry Maklakov, Vladimir Khabensky and Sergei Dronov.
The bell rings for round one and we are underway! A looping hook to the body misses from Lombard. Rapthlaka does a little dance to reset his feet. Rapthlaka doesn't succeed with the takedown and Lombard counters with a series of strikes. Rapthlaka will be more careful next time no doubt. Mibon Rapthlaka seems to be the more aggressive standup fighter in this bout. Lombard changes levels and scores with a jab to the body. Rapthlaka scores a trip takedown into side control. Nice. The referee must be thinking about standing these guys back up. Rapthlaka has an Americana. Lombard didn't react quickly enough there and he's in big trouble now! He tries to squirm out but is forced to tap! Rapthlaka is delighted and gyrates in front of the ring girls. They seem to like the attention - it'll be interesting to see if Rapthlaka hooks up with any of them at the after show party.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:34 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Americana). Mibon Rapthlaka!
