The bell rings for round one and we are underway!
Sichev closes the distance and looks for a trip takedown... aaaand he's got it - Sichev lands in his opponent's guard.
Sichev is a painfully thin specimen of a man. You do wonder whether a good body kick would snap him clean in two.
If this pace continues, the referee will definitely step in and force a standup.
Banner working from the bottom, still in full guard. He's managed to get a loose triangle. Sichev doesn't seem to be doing much to defend here, obviously he feels comfortable in the position. Sichev manages to throw the legs off his shoulder and he's back into guard - no problem.
Banner looking for submissions from the bottom here. Moving his hips around, possibly looking for an armbar.
Sichev postures up and scores with a shot to the body and a follow up elbow to the head.
Sichev missing there with some ground and pound from the guard.
Sichev connects with a couple of short punches.
This has been an exciting period of action!
Sichev is posturing up here but Banner has hold of an arm and he's gone for an armbar! Sichev tries to roll out but it's too tight and Sichev has to tap! Slick submission there by Banner!

Lamont Banner is the new heavyweight champion!
Lamont Banner seemed lost for words in his post fight interview but he remembered to thank his fans and directed everyone to his website.
