The bell rings for round one and we are underway!

Turmarrov scores a trip takedown into side control. Nice.
Turmarrov controlling from side mount.
It looks like Turmarrov might be adopting somewhat of a lay and pray gameplan here, which I'm sure won't go down too well with the paying fans in attendance... Or the ring announcers come to think of it.

Turmarrov has hold of Yamato's arm. He's looking for a kimura. Yamato seems comfortable defending it but Turmarrov has shifted his position slighty and is cranking on the arm! Yamato is real pain and he's forced to tap out! Yamato is disgusted with himself for not defending it better but Turmarrov couldn't care less - he's delighted!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:32 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Kimura). Alexey Turmarrov!
