The bell rings for round one and we are underway! Lopez lands a nice shot to the body.
Sitsongrit takes one on the chin but seems OK.
Lopez's coach down at Brazilian Fight Club was telling us pre-fight that they have been working on Lopez's balance. Obviously they view that as a key factor in the outcome of this fight. Sitsongrit walks into a jab. Lopez on the receiving end of a decent leg kick there by Sitsongrit. Sitsongrit obviously looking to wear him down.
Lopez drives through with a really nice takedown into side control. Sitsongrit seems a little lost for a moment, as Lopez dominates the positioning. The strikes coming from Lopez are missing the target in this wave of attacks. Lopez has knee on belly and now moves to full mount! Trouble for Sitsongrit! Lopez tucks in and makes sure he doesn't lose the dominant position. Wooooo! Give it up for these two warriors! They are putting on a show! Let's hope that Lopez has the urge to step up the pace any second now because for the last 15 or 20 seconds he's just been holding on tight.
That's one minute gone in the round. Lopez has hold of Sitsongrit's left arm, perhaps looking for a submission. The two fighters tussle over control of the isolated limb and Sitsongrit manages to get his arm back to his side and away from danger.
Lopez controlling from mount. Lopez working for a submission here. He's tucked his head under his opponent's arm, looking for an arm triangle. He's hopped off into side control, looking to tighten the submission... is it going to work? He's given up a good position looking for it. Sitsongrit looks OK. Oh, I spoke too soon, he's out! That must have been tighter than I thought! Excellent work there by Lopez! Submission of the night perhaps?
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:56 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Arm Triangle). Pedro Lopez! Pedro Lopez made sure to mention his sponsor, Humanoid Nutrition (160Q for 180$) in his post fight interview.
