De Souza shoots in and bounces Whelan off the cage to secure the takedown into guard.
We could do with one of the fighters taking the initiative a bit more on the ground - they're both waiting to capitalize on a mistake.
De Souza missing there with some ground and pound from the guard. #SUB2#
Whelan working from the bottom, still in full guard. He's managed to get a loose triangle. De Souza doesn't seem to be doing much to defend here, obviously he feels comfortable in the position. De Souza manages to throw the legs off his shoulder and he's back into guard - no problem.
De Souza postures up to throw the ground and pound strikes but they don't connect. #SUB2#
De Souza looking to improve position, pressing down on Whelan's thigh with his hand. Whelan seems to be working to lock up a guilotine though... is De Souza paying attention? Apparently not! He's locked it up tight! De Souza's face has turned purple! Will he tap? Will he! YES! He's tapped! Whelan picked his opening and made it count! Great finish!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:38 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Guillotine). Senan Whelan!
After the fight, Senan Whelan was humble in paying tribute to his opponent but made it clear he wants to go on to bigger and better things. It seemed to go down well with the crowd who cheered him loudly.
