The bell rings for round one and we are underway!

Limbtwister decides to change it up a bit and drives through with a nice takedown into half guard.
Limbtwister seems very keen to just sit and control from half guard but Azevedo does not like that idea so much and is remaining active off his back.
We've been hearing good reports from Limbtwister's training camp. Apparently he has been rolling around with some good quality BJJ practitioners and has been sharpening his skills. Let's see if that has an impact on the fight today.

Limbtwister is trying to work for a kimura. This could be trouble! No, Azevedo has managed to free his arm - good work.

Azevedo has hold of a guillotine but he's not going to be able to crank on it really with only half guard, so it's no trouble for Limbtwister. Oh but Azevedo has got full guard now! Oh boy! This one could be over very soon! Limbtwister goes limp - he's gone! Azevedo jumps up and celebrates with the crowd - fantastic submission finish!
