The bell rings for round one and we are underway! Abellan connects with the punch. Abellan looks to land a right hand but Sujitsu moved out of range. Sujitsu feints and as Abellan raises his hands in defense, Sujitsu changes levels and drives through with a takedown into guard. We could do with one of the fighters taking the initiative a bit more on the ground - they're both waiting to capitalize on a mistake. Abellan keeping full guard, as Sujitsu tries to pass. Sujitsu slips effortlessly into side control - very nice. Abellan has been talking about how he's improved his wrestling in the run up to the fight so let's see if that's enough to sway the balance. Sujitsu tries for an arm triangle. That looks pretty tight to me. Is this one over!?! Possibly, maybe, no Sujitsu has let go of the choke. Obviously it wasn't as tight as we thought! Sujitsu moving around in side mount but really he's just happy to control for now. We've had a slow start to the round here - hopefully the action picks up. Sujitsu wants to work for a kimura but he's foiled early by Abellan, who protects the arm well. Abellan knows he needs to get back to his feet asap. He's simply no match for Sujitsu on the ground. Abellan isn't going anywhere.
That's one minute gone in the round. Sujitsu is working for what looks like an arm triangle here. Abellan is trying to escape and Sujitsu transitions quickly into an armbar! He's slapped it on tight and Abellan is forced to tap! Nice work there by Sujitsu! Very nice indeed!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:27 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). Kubo Sujitsu!
