The bell rings for round one and we are underway! Graves takes a shot to the nose. Hopefully that hasn't broken it. Kuklin throws a jab, cross combination which is slipped
and Graves counters with a nice shoot takedown that brings the fighters to the ground. Kuklin is working actively off his back, looking to secure an arm or perhaps work for a triangle. Kuklin wants to get back to his feet but Graves is in a dominant position and won't allow it. Graves drops back for a leg but he's not going to get it - he lets go and Kuklin dives on top into guard. Kuklin throws a big right hand that misses. Graves is active off his back here, looking for submissions.
Graves looking for submissions from the bottom here. Moving his hips around, possibly looking for an armbar.
This is a great period of action - very entertaining stuff! Kuklin stands up over Graves, holding his feet. He dives back in and lands a decent shot to the head. Kuklin stands up over his opponent, looking to dive in with a big punch. Here he comes, superman style! Oh, the punch misses and Graves has got him in a triangle choke for good measure! Oh no! Kuklin manages to get his head free but now Graves has transitioned to an armbar! Kuklin grimaces and is forced to tap! Beautiful Jiu Jitsu from Graves! I'd be surprised if that didn't end up as submission of the night!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:58 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). Alex Graves! Alex Graves really struggled to get his t-shirt on before his hand was raised. Making sure that GREEN!160 logo gets some air time is pretty tricky when you're all sweaty.
