The bell rings for round one and we are underway! Da Silva closes the distance and clinches up, looking for a takedown. He shifts his weight and gets a nice trip into half guard. Da Silva is figuring out what he wants to do next. Kastelum tries to kick Da Silva off but Da Silva keeps his base steady and stays in half guard. Da Silva working some ground and pound from close in. He's looking to maintain this position and strike for a while by the looks of things... although he'll probably advance to full mount in a minute now I've said that. Da Silva definitely looks more muscular than last time we saw him fight. Kastelum is looking to control Da Silva's leg but it's slowly edging free. Can Kastelum avoid being mounted? Da Silva seems very keen to just sit and control from half guard but Kastelum does not like that idea so much and is remaining active off his back. Da Silva misses with a head shot. Kastelum uses the momentum to regain guard. We've had a slow start to the round here - hopefully the action picks up. Kastelum working for a triangle but Da Silva defends it easily.
Kastelum is working for submissions here. He's thrown up his legs looking for a triangle but Da Silva frees his head nicely. Oh but Kastelum has switched to an armbar! Da Silva is tapping furiously! Lovely submission there!
