Dukes looking to shoot here. He's gone for it and he's landed a takedown into side control! Oh, that's bad for Keskinen!
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.
Dukes's ground tactics aren't going to win him many fans. Let's hope he's got fireworks for us if he gets back to his feet because he's not doing much on the ground.
The fighters are pressed up against the cage, both looking to find a bit of space to work.
Dukes is working to tighten his grip on Keskinen's neck. He's isolated an arm and is working for an arm triangle. Keskinen has recognised the danger and is trying to turn with the submission but Dukes is really squeezing tight and eventually Keskinen passes out! Dukes breaks the hold and jumps onto the cage to celebrate! Submission of the night, I'd say!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:52 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Arm Triangle). Grant Dukes!
