Dragan content just to control the position here. #T1##SUB#
Dragan looking for a guillotine from mount but Renata is having none of it.
Dragan tucks in and makes sure he doesn't lose the dominant position.
Renata has given up his back - I don’t know if this is a deliberate ploy to try and escape or if he is just struggling down there.

Dragan has both hooks in and is working for a choke. Renata is in real trouble here. Dragan gets an arm under the chin and tightens the submission attempt... is this the end? Yes, Renata is tapping out! Dragan wins by rear naked choke!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:52 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (RNC). Vas Dragan!
Vas Dragan tried to hype himself up post fight but didn't word it too well and it ended up with him sounding like a bit of a tool.
