The bell rings for round one and we are underway! Espiga misses with a hook
and Filippovich counters with a takedown into side control. Espiga is not content to let Filippovich control the position. Espiga 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. Filippovich has hold of Espiga's arm here. He's working for an Americana. It looks like he might have it! Espiga tries to escape but he's just digging himself in deeper - Filippovich cranks the arm and Espiga screams in pain!
