Cirkunov has managed to work for a loose triangle. I think Buchanan should be able to defend this one pretty easily though. Oh, Cirkunov has tightened it up now! Buchanan should have reacted faster there - he's in big trouble and yes, he's tapped out! This one is all over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:25 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle). Alex Cirkunov!
After winning the bout, Alex Cirkunov thanked all his fans and promised he'd do even better in his next fight. The crowd seemed to love his humility.
