Crowd is kinda dead for this one.

Round 1: Roller with a low stance cause he's looking for the takedown. Yep, he goes for it seconds in and he gets it. Njokuani, though, quickly stands, but he's thrown back down. Roller holds him tight in halfguard. Roller takes full mount at 3:48. Njokuani gives up his back and Roller looks for the rear-naked choke. Roller tries to trap Njokuani's left arm to ease in the choke. Njokuani tries his best to fight it off. Roller continues to dig his forearms for it. And he finally does. Good patience by Roller to slowly work for it and finally rolling him on the side to secure it.

Roller wins by submission - Round 1, 3:07
