Round 1 – Nelson rushes forward with quick hands. He’s light on his feet and moving well early. Tumenov with a kick to the body. They trade hands in the pocket. Nelson’s body already red from that early shot. Tumenov walking forward and looking to strike. He scores a counter right, though Nelson instantly answers with a takedown. He slides quickly to mount. Tumenov trying to push the legs down. Nelson firm in his top position, and he scores a nasty elbow to the face. Nelson posturing up and landing big shots. He’s not giving up the mount. One minute left. Tumenov trapped underneath. He finally turns and works back to his feet. Shots traded on the feet. Entertaining round ends there, and MMAjunkie gives it to Nelson, 10-9.

Round 2 – Nelson with spring in his step as he opens the second. He’s moving very well, and his timing is frustrating Tumenov. Jabs from Tumenov. Nelson changes levels and drives forward for the takedown, moving immediately into side control. He steps quickly over and into mount. Tumenov rolls and exposes his back. Tumenov trying to battle the hands as Nelson seeks the choke. He keeps working and just gets the arm around the neck. Tight squeeze, and this is over. Great performance by Nelson.

Result: Gunnar Nelson def. Albert Tumenov via submission (rear-naked choke) – Round 2, 3:15
