Gunnar Nelson vs DaMarques Johnson

by Dr. Octagon, J.D. 

Here’s the play by play on this fight, which is tape delayed.

Gunnar Nelson is a badass grapppler from Iceland. Hope he came out to a Bjork song.

Round 1: Gunnar throws a nice head kick. Side kick from Gunnar. Gunnar punches, shoots, and dumps DaMarques Johnson on his ass; he’s in the half guard. DaMarques walks up the cage and goes for an omoplata, but the man from the land of ice is not having it. He punches DaMarques, who lets go.

Gunnar’s back on top. Gunnar passes to the full mount. DaMarques tries to buck Gunnar off, but Gunnar takes his back and goes for the rear naked choke. The hold is too high up on Johnson’s face. He’s just popping DaMarques to loosen him up. Gunnar goes for the choke again and has it underneath the chin perfectly, DaMarques taps.

Gunnar Nelson by submission due to rear naked choke at 3:34 of Round 1.
