The bell rings for round one and we are underway!
Grabonzo looking for a takedown here - he's got it.
Grabonzo thinks about going for a leg but decides against it, in order to maintain the position.
Diaz has his foot on Grabonzo's thigh. He's trying to push off and get in position for a triangle, I think. Grabonzo works his way back into a safe position though.
We've been hearing good reports from Diaz's training camp. Apparently he has been rolling around with some good quality BJJ practitioners and has been sharpening his skills. Let's see if that has an impact on the fight today.
Diaz utilising some decent striking defenses from the guard, preventing the ground and pound.
In the pre-fight buildup videos we saw Grabonzo working his ground and pound in the gym. He isn't landing a great percentage of his ground strikes so far though.
Diaz working from the bottom, still in full guard. He's managed to get a loose triangle. Grabonzo doesn't seem to be doing much to defend here, obviously he feels comfortable in the position. Grabonzo manages to throw the legs off his shoulder and he's back into guard - no problem.
Diaz looking for submissions off his back, moving his hips, looking for an opening.
Grabonzo drops back for a leg here. A bit of a high risk move... He's looking for a kneebar by the looks of things. Now both of them are looking for submissions. Grabonzo seems to have locked his on tight now - Diaz screams in pain and taps out furiously! It certainly was a high risk move but it's paid off for Grabonzo, as he picks up the win!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:52 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Kneebar). Alfonso Grabonzo!
Jumping up and down and very excited, Alfonso Grabonzo waved his t-shirt featuring OG King Of Laundry (Fast Response 80%)'s logo in front of the cameras.
In defeat, Nickthaniel Diaz stepped up to the mic, saying 'He fought like a pussy, running from me n shit. WTF???'.
