Round 1:
Nice left hook by Shutt lands during an exchange, and they go into the clinch. Shutt has underhooks but gets the takedown, Saito back to his feet and Shutt gets his back and takes him down. Reversal by Saito, now on top. To his feet and NICE right hand on the way down into half guard. This round just took a turn. Shutt is kicking up his legs looking for a submission, maybe an armbar, but he doesn’t have a good angle for it. Shutt rolls for a leglock. He’s cranking that heelhook. Not sure how Saito didn’t tap, but he kicks off and rolls out. Shutt looks for a takedown and Saito tries a guillotine. Good takedown by Shutt; relentless. He’s got Saito’s back and into mat, throwing some punches. Saito is trying to roll and escape, but shutt isn’t giving up any position. He has him flattened out, throwing punches to the side of Satio’s head. Nice elbow. Shutt has to be careful not to punch himself out. Another reversal by Saito; just when Shutt looks like he’s in control, Saito rolls out. Big punch and into side control now. Another big right from the feet after pushing Shutt’s feet aside. Back into side and dropping elbows at the bell. Great round. Slight edge for Shutt, but Saito made things interesting with that comeback. ProMMAnow.com goes 10-9 for Shutt.
