The bell rings for round one and we are underway! A left lands for Johnson. Ribeiro looks for a takedown. He's got it. We're now in half guard. We've been hearing good reports from Ribeiro'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. Ribeiro is sneakily working for an arm triangle but Johnson sees it coming and defends easily. Ribeiro content to sit in half guard and control for a moment. Ribeiro wants to pass the guard but Johnson is defending well. Ribeiro not doing much here.
Johnson makes his way to full guard. A much better position for Johnson. Ribeiro keeps in close for a moment and lands a decent shot to the side of Johnson's head. We've had a slow start to the round here - hopefully the action picks up. Ribeiro is posturing up here but Johnson has hold of an arm and he's gone for an armbar! Ribeiro tries to roll out but it's too tight and Ribeiro has to tap! Slick submission there by Johnson!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:55 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). Derrick Johnson!
