Nelson comes out in a wide karate stance, hands low in southpaw, and flicks a high kick at Johnson’s head before switching stance. He closes the distance, grabs hold of Johnson and trips him to the ground at the base of the fence. Nelson works from half-guard on the left side and Johnson catches him in an omoplata. As Nelson tries to flip over the top, Johnson grabs for a foot, but Nelson squirms out. Soon after extracting his arm, Nelson leaps into full mount and Johnson gives up his back. Nelson works for a rear-naked choke with both hooks in but can’t get his forearm under Johnson’s chin. Nelson switches to a body triangle and goes for the choke again, and this time it’s deep. Gunnar Nelson gets the submission win in his UFC debut, as DaMarques Johnson taps out at 3:34 of the first round. Round 1

elbows from the kneeling crucifix position. The elbows are
particularly brutal and they’ve cut Corassani up around the outside
