The bell rings for round one and we are underway! Butler tries to sprawl but Cua drives through with a takedown into half guard. The fighters are pressed up against the cage, both looking to find a bit of space to work. We've had a lack of effective grappling in the last minute or so, which could well see a referee standup. Cua is looking for a kimura but he's never going to get it from there. Cua is looking for an arm triangle, whilst trying to pass to side control. Butler doesn't seem that keen to cooperate though. No luck this time Cua. Butler is a painfully thin specimen of a man. You do wonder whether a good body kick would snap him clean in two. Cua is trying to work for a kimura. This could be trouble! No, Butler has managed to free his arm - good work. Cua seems very keen to just sit and control from half guard but Butler does not like that idea so much and is remaining active off his back. Cua in half guard on the top. He's looking for a kimura... He's got it locked and he's managed to free his trapped foot. Butler tries to escape but it's on too tight and he has to tap! Great BJJ skills there from Cua!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:59 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Kimura). Rick Cua!
