MELVIN GUILLARD VS. GLEISON TIBAU
Round 1 - The fighters collide and both miss on punches. Back to the center of the cage, and
Guillard lands two quick punches before Tibau retreats. Guillard tags him again when he closes distance. Tibau shoots from halfway across the cage and puts Guillard against the cage, but the "Young Assassin" quickly reverses the position. Tibau again reverses and puts Guillard against the cage and dips for the takedown. Guillard initially fends it off before he's taken to the mat. Tibau can't keep him there, and Guillard quickly gets back to his feet. The pace slows as the fighters patiently circle.
Guillard land a lunging one-two that finds its mark. Tibau though then connects on a combo of his own.
Guillard lands a loud kick to the body, but Tibau forces him to the mat. As Guillard tries to get back up, Tibau scoops him and slams him to the center of the mat. Guillard braces for the takedown, though, and gets back to his feet by knocking Tibau clear off him. Guillard, looking much more patient than usual, slowly
backs Tibau into the cage before delivering a shot as the round ends. MMAjunkie.com scores a close first round for Tibau, 10-9, based largely on takedowns.
MMAJunkie PbP disagrees.
