Jafar moves into range and clinches up with Sanders.
Jafar has double underhooks and is working for a body lock takedown. He's got it. The fighters land in half guard but Sanders regains guard immediately. Score +2 for takedown into guard / half guard: Jafar (2) vs (0) Sanders
Jafar will need to keep those long limbs tucked in whilst he's on the ground, to prevent any submissions.
Sanders is active off his back here, looking for submissions.
Sanders working from the bottom, still in full guard. He's managed to get a loose triangle. Jafar doesn't seem to be doing much to defend here, obviously he feels comfortable in the position. Oh but Sanders is tightening it up a little... Jafar has to be careful here... He's got his foot tucked under now, this looks tight! Jafar reacted too slowly and this one could be over in a matter of seconds! YES! Jafar taps out! Nice BJJ there by Sanders!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:29 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle Choke). Bernie Sanders!
Bernie Sanders took to the microphone after his victory and thanked his sponsors, Fantasy Threads for their support in the buildup to the fight.
