A low kick from Knight is predictable there #TD# and Stuart counters with a shoot takedown. Knight fights it but they end up in guard. #SUB2# Knight escapes his hips to the side and looks to be working for an armbar. Stuart gives him a little smile and shakes his head. No chance. #T3# Knight throws a couple of weedy looking strikes off his back.
Stuart is breathing heavily. Stuart postures up.
Knight scores with a nice shot. Knight tries to land a sweep but no joy. #SUB2# Knight looking for a triangle here. Stuart is fighting it but it looks tight! Knight pulls the arm across and this one won't last much longer! Nope, Stuart is tapping out - this one is all over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:52 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle Choke). Alexander Knight! Our winner, Alexander Knight, made sure he spent some time buttering up the crowd during his post fight interview, which will no doubt bring him a few more fans.
