The bell rings for round one and we are underway!

A momentary lapse in concentration from Tynkkynen enables Valentine to shoot in and score with a neat double leg. Tynkkynen manages to secure a closed guard as the fighters hit the mat.
Valentine must be cautious of submissions here, given that his opponent has the superior Jiu Jitsu.
We've had a lack of effective grappling in the last minute or so, which could well see a referee standup.

Tynkkynen working from the bottom, still in full guard. He's managed to get a loose triangle. Valentine doesn't seem to be doing much to defend here, obviously he feels comfortable in the position. Oh but Tynkkynen is tightening it up a little... Valentine has to be careful here... He's got his foot tucked under now, this looks tight! Valentine reacted too slowly and this one could be over in a matter of seconds! YES! Valentine taps out! Nice BJJ there by Tynkkynen!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:18 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle Choke). Rauno Tynkkynen!
Rauno Tynkkynen seemed lost for words in his post fight interview but he remembered to thank his fans and directed everyone to his website.
