Sy transitions on top, but Cutelaba is quickly up to his feet against the cage. However, Sy looks for another takedown while pulling Cutelaba away towards the center of the Octagon. It’s Cutelaba who does well to end up on top though.
Sy sizing up a potential leg lock, but doesn’t commit to it so Cutelaba reels off some ground-and-pound. Now Sy does work for that leg lock but Cutelaba pulls his limb free and stays on top.
Sy gets to his knees and tries to get on top, but Cutelaba sinks in a guillotine choke and rolls into mount with it to force a quick tap-out from Sy at 4.24mins of the opening round.
