Timone definitely looks more muscular than last time we saw him fight. Lukashenko tries to pull guard but Timone forces him back to his feet, against the ropes.#TD# Timone jumps guard and drags Lukashenko to the mat. He's obviously going to be looking for submissions off his back. Lukashenko wanted to stand there but Timone had control of the position. The fighters are tangled up in the ropes here. We might need a restart if the fighters can't break free themselves.#SU2# Lukashenko stands up from Timone's guard - Lukashenko perhaps looking for a knockout. #TD# Timone closes the distance and gets a trip takedown into side control. Lukashenko quickly recovers to half guard. We've had a slow start to the round here - hopefully the action picks up. Lukashenko regains full guard. Nicely done. #SUB2# Lukashenko has his foot on Timone's thigh. He's trying to push off and get in position for a triangle, I think. Timone works his way back into a safe position though.#SUB2# Lukashenko is looking for a guillotine. You can't force these things though and Timone defends well. Fantastic stuff here - a very entertaining period of action, which has drawn cheers from the crowd.#SUB2# Lukashenko is looking to cinch up a triangle. Timone throws the leg off to one side though and gets in tight to Lukashenko's body to avoid the submission. Lukashenko has instead reached around Timone's neck and now has a guillotine! Oh, this is biiiig trouble! Lukashenko arches his back and squeezes and forces the tap from his hapless opponent.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:55 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Guillotine). Vlad Lukashenko! |
