Fabricio Camoes vs. Tony Martin
Round 1: Here we go, y’all. UFC 179. Lightweights kicking us off. Mario Yamasaki is the third man in the cage. They touch ‘em up and we’re live. Martin circling and pawing out his jab. Slow start here, but a solid Camoes leg kick draws the first pop from the Brazilian faithful. Martin ducks under and dumps Camoes onto his back. Martin working from half guard. Camoes fishes for a kimura, Martin returns the favor. Camoes briefly sweeps off the fence but Martin rolls then wrenches on that kimura to take side control. Some nasty damage on Camoes’ left arm from that submission, but he’s surviving. Boom, there’s the tap.
Tony Martin def. Fabricio Camoes via submission (kimura) at 4:16 of R1
