The bell rings for round one and we are underway! Lovell drives through and clinches with Simon against the cage.
A short left from Simon. Lovell has managed to pull guard. Let's see whether he can work an aggressive guard. It will also be interesting to see what tactics Simon uses from the top position. Lovell isolates an arm and boxes in a triangle. Simon stacks Lovell on his neck as he steps over and passes to the side. He's now in a much more dominant position where he can look to do some serious damage. Nice move by Simon! Simon tries for an arm triangle. That looks pretty tight to me. Is this one over!?! Possibly, maybe, no Simon has let go of the choke. Obviously it wasn't as tight as we thought! Simon working the head and body with strikes. We've had a slow start to the round here - hopefully the action picks up. Lovell is looking to reverse the position. Simon has been looking to land a fair amount of strikes on the ground. He might be looking to soften his opponent up in order to work for a submission. Simon wants to control but Lovell is keeping him busy. Simon postures up a little and throws a couple of hammerfists but they don't connect properly.
That's one minute gone in the round. Lovell tries to improve position but can't. You can see the frustration on Lovell's face, being in this tough position on the bottom. Lovell tries to control but Simon manages to take his back. Lovell is trying to get to his feet but he's left his neck exposed and Simon manages to sink in a rear naked choke! Great counter grappling by Simon!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:41 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (RNC). Kirby Simon!
