Ladies and gentlemen. This fight is 3 rounds, in the welterweight division. Introducing the fighter to my left, fighting out of the red corner. With a record of
0 - 0 - 0, fighting out of Las Vegas, Milo Vicente! And introducing the fighter to my right, fighting out of the blue corner. With a record of
1 - 0 - 1, fighting out of Helsinki, Reima Poika! The judges for this bout are Stewart Dunkirk, Daniel Franklin and Wesley Smith.
The bell rings for round one and we are underway! Poika shoots in looking for a single leg takedown. Vicente is trying to defend but Poika finishes it well and ends up in half guard. Let's see if he can advance position further. Vicente wants to stand back up but Poika manages to pass into side control.
The referee asks Poika politely if he wouldn't mind getting on with it and actually doing something. Poika prefers to stall for the moment though. Vicente is positioning himself to get back to half guard. Vicente gives up the full mount - oops, sloppy defensive grappling there! Vicente tries to control the position but Poika now has his back.
My spies in Shark Tank MMA inform me that Poika has been getting involved in the gym's BJJ sparring sessions. Let's see whether that pays dividends! We've had a slow start to the round here - hopefully the action picks up. Poika is working for the choke. He's slipped one arm under the chin. Vicente has to defend the other arm for all he's worth... but Poika has managed to get that arm free too and he's tightening the choke! Vicente taps out and looks absolutely disgusted with himself. Poika doesn't care though - he's delighted!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:56 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (RNC). Reima Poika!
