Round 1: Good morning, everyone. We’ve got a long night in front of us and we’re starting it off with Smolka in black, and Sumudaerji in red. Thomas Fan is the ref. One second in and Smolka shoots for a takedown. Sumudaerji stuffs it, but is backed up against the cage. Sumudaerji working to get the underhooks out from under his arms. Smolka with a knee, but Sumudaerji breaks away with an elbow. They stand for about ten seconds before Smolka gets in on a leg again. Sumudaerji is defending decently. Finally about a hundred seconds into the round, Smolka gets the takedown. Sumudaerji working a nice, active guard with his long limbs. He creates a scramble and manages to get Smolka way down his legs. Smolka manages to stay on top and starts to get in some ground and pound. Nice elbow from the bottom from Sumudaerji. Sumudaerji still trying to get out and suddenly, Smolka gets his back and he’s looking for a rear-naked choke. Smolka floats over as Sumudaerji rolls out of the choke. He’s in mount and throwing down a flurry of punches and elbows as he maintains mount. Back mount and tons of punches as the round ends.
10-9 Smolka
Round 2: Smolka decides to stand for a little longer, but a big hook checks his chin and he decides he’s had enough of the standing game. Smolka on top 50 seconds in. Sumudaerji scrambles and gets a leg briefly. Now Sumudaerji is on top briefly, but is unable to get away and up. Smolka has no desire to stay on the bottom and immediately starts his own scramble. He latches onto an arm and is fighting for the armbar… and gets the tap!
Final result: Luis Smolka defeats Sumudaerji via submission (armbar) at 2:07 of Round 2
