The bell rings for round one and we are underway!

Bakies scores a trip takedown into side control. Nice.
The referee must be thinking about standing these guys back up.

Bakies is looking for a kimura. He might have it! No, Peterson has escaped the position, nice work there.

Bakies goes for an armbar! This could be all over! Wait, no, Peterson rolls with the submission and now he's on top in Bakies's guard! Nice work there by Peterson!
Bakies throwing some rather feeble looking strikes off his back.

Peterson drops back for a leg here. A bit of a high risk move... He's looking for a kneebar by the looks of things. Now both of them are looking for submissions. Peterson seems to have locked his on tight now - Bakies screams in pain and taps out furiously! It certainly was a high risk move but it's paid off for Peterson, as he picks up the win!

Olaff Peterson really struggled to get his t-shirt on before his hand was raised. Making sure that xXx Clothing (Nothing Over $20) logo gets some air time is pretty tricky when you're all sweaty.
