The bell rings for round one and we are underway!
Gabriel shoots in for a takedown but doesn't get it.

Gabriel bobs and weaves into range and then changes levels and scores with a nice takedown into side control.
We could do with one of the fighters taking the initiative a bit more on the ground - they're both waiting to capitalize on a mistake.
A bit of a lull in the action. I'm sure it will pick up again soon... even if the ref has to physically pick them up and put them back on their feet.

Gabriel is in a dominant position here, looking for a kimura. Meake looks calm but he's in trouble here. Gabriel gets his leg over his opponent's head and yanks on the arm. Meake is tapping like a morse code operator on the titanic! SOS! SOS! Gabriel lets go of the hold and Meake can pop his arm back in it's socket.

Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:29 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Kimura). Tyson Gabriel!
