The bell rings for round one and we are underway! Caqui changes levels and drives through with a really nice takedown into side control. Morrow looks really pissed at himself for not defending that better. We've had a lack of effective grappling in the last minute or so, which could well see a referee standup. Caqui thinks about going for a far side armbar but bails out and retains the dominant position instead. Morrow pushes Caqui away and creates a bit of space to escape. He's almost out here... but no, Caqui gets a good hold of his legs and remains firmly in side control. Morrow is not content to let Caqui control the position. Caqui has been taking part in the yoga sessions down at Finch Farm. Presumably he's going to look for a slick submission... Or maybe he's looking to avoid one. Morrow is looking to work his way out of this bad position but Caqui is controlling him well. Morrow tries to work a leg under to get back to half guard but Caqui wriggles his own leg back out and remains in side control. Caqui advances to full mount.
That's one minute gone in the round. Morrow tries to hold on but Caqui postures up. Caqui sends his fist crashing into the mat - the crowd let out a collective ooooooh. Let's hope he's not broken it! Caqui looking to ground and pound but Morrow is blocking nicely. Morrow tries to hold on but Caqui postures up. Caqui punching from mount but Morrow doing a good job of avoiding damage. Morrow is in all sorts of trouble here.
That's two minutes gone in the round. Caqui is working to isolate an arm here. It's a telegraphed submission attempt but he's gone for it anyway - and he's got it! Caqui extends the arm and Morrow is forced to tap!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:23 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). Tupi Caqui!
