Melo has improved his flexibility recently so we will have to see if he can use that to his advantage.
We've had a slow start to the round here - hopefully the action picks up.
We get told so often about how wrestlers don't like to be on their backs. Let's see if Khan can do anything to dispel that myth.
That's one minute gone in the round.
Melo slips effortlessly into side control - very nice.
Melo is working to tighten his grip on Khan's neck. He's isolated an arm and is working for an arm triangle. Khan has recognised the danger and is trying to turn with the submission but Melo is really squeezing tight and eventually Khan passes out! Melo breaks the hold and jumps onto the cage to celebrate! Submission of the night, I'd say!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:45 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Arm Triangle). Renan Melo!
Renan Melo very nearly forgot to thank Darkness amongst all the excitement of his win but just as the interview came to a close, he screamed their name. Hopefully he'll get a few nice freebies in the mail as a thank you.
