The bell rings for round one and we are underway! Branson dives in and scores a takedown into Fernandez's guard. Fernandez keeping moving, preventing Branson from controlling successfully. Fernandez working from the bottom, still in full guard. He's managed to get a loose triangle. Branson doesn't seem to be doing much to defend here, obviously he feels comfortable in the position. Branson manages to throw the legs off his shoulder and he's back into guard - no problem. Fernandez is throwing his legs up, looking for submissions. Branson is aware though and is defending well. Branson is stalling in the full guard. Fernandez pushes a forearm under Branson's chin to create some space. He's escaped his hips and pivoted quickly for an armbar! Can he extend the arm? Yes, Branson is tapping out! Damn, that was fast!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:42 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). Frank Fernandez! Frank Fernandez is the new light heavyweight champion! Frank Fernandez decided to call for a title shot in his post fight interview, which was very strange given the fact this fight was for a title and he's already the champion. I guess that's what getting punched in the head does for you.
