The first round was mostly uneventful, with neither fighters landing significant strikes against the other. Gracie was mostly defensive against Kondo, who attempted a few kicks. Both Gracie and Kondo were given yellow cards in the first round for inactivity.
The second round was far more action-packed, with both fighters being more engaged from the feet. The Brazilian jiu-jitsu legend took Kondo down and quickly transitioned to the back and finished the bout with a rear-naked choke.
