0 - 1 - 0, fighting out of St Petersburg, Ivan Ponomarenko! The judges for this bout are Aleksei Zolotukhin, Igor Prikhodko and Viktor Lagutenko.
The bell rings for round one and we are underway! Ponomarenko darts in trying to clinch and Nurmagomedov counters with a takedown into side control. The referee claps his hands together and tells the fighters to work. Ponomarenko is looking for a sweep. Nurmagomedov lands a knee to the body and follows it up with some ground and pound to the head. That will wear Ponomarenko down.
Nurmagomedov working away. Nurmagomedov is working for what looks like an arm triangle here. Ponomarenko is trying to escape and Nurmagomedov transitions quickly into an armbar! He's slapped it on tight and Ponomarenko is forced to tap! Nice work there by Nurmagomedov! Very nice indeed!
