Rich “No Love” Clementi defeated Alexander “Tiger” Sarnavskiy by split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28).
Clementi hands Sarnavskiy the first loss of his career largely based on his work on the ground. Clementi spent the majority of the first round working a standing rear-naked choke submission. Late in the round Clementi was able to pull Sarnavskiy to the ground and appeared to have the submission locked in tight before late escape by Tiger. Clementi controlled the second round after landing a takedown then again quickly transitioning to Sarnavskiy’s back. The final frame was about survival for Clementi as he avoided the striking danger of Sarnavskiy by pulling guard to get the fight to the ground.
