The referee must be thinking about standing these guys back up.

Marks working for a submission but Moony is keeping him at bay.
Moony's corner are shouting for him to stand up but that's bad cornering - how is he meant to stand up when he's mounted? He should be looking to improve his position on the ground before trying to stand back up.

Marks is going oldschool here, as he tries to force Moony to tap using a forearm choke. This isn't 1993 though, so Moony shrugs it off.
Marks won't let Moony get back to his feet... He wants to keep the fight where it is for now.

This is a great period of action - very entertaining stuff!

Marks moves into side control, trying to work for a kimura. That looks painful! Will he finish!!?? No, Moony has worked his arm free - good work by Moony!

Marks has an Americana. Moony didn't react quickly enough there and he's in big trouble now! He tries to squirm out but is forced to tap! Marks is delighted and gyrates in front of the ring girls. They seem to like the attention - it'll be interesting to see if Marks hooks up with any of them at the after show party.

Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:01 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Americana). Karl Marks!
Karl Marks retains his light heavyweight title!
