Sedriques Dumas vs. Denis Tiuliulin
Round 1 – Leg kick by Dumas. Oh! Nice knee by Tiuliulin as Dumas shot for a takedown. They get into a scramble, but Dumas ends on top while locking Tiuliulin from the back. They’re by the cage, with Dumas controlling Tiuliulin. Not much going on. Tiuliulin reverses the position and ends on top, in Dumas’ guard. Dumas gets back up and presses Tiuliulin against the cage. Knee to the groin from Dumas halts the bout. They get broken up. The fight resumes shortly on the feet. Dumas shoots, but gets stuffed. Dumas ties up Tiuliulin and controls him against the cage. Not much damage here. The bell rings.
MMA Junkie scores the round 10-9, Tiuliulin.
