The bell sounds, and Taylor shoots in for the takedown but is peppered with punches to the ribs for his efforts. However, while fighting for position, he gets Dolce's back and works for the rear-naked choke. Dolce starts to turn purple but breaks the choke and then gets back to his feet. Taylor takes him back down and quickly reclaims his back. However, he can't sink in the choke, and Dolce rolls over into his opponent's guard. Dolce tags his taller opponent with punches before Taylor reverses the position. Dolce opens a cut with an elbow from below, but Taylor -- for the third time -- takes his opponent's back. This time, he flattens him out but can't get in his hooks. He lands in sidemount and drops elbows and punches before -- yes, again -- he takes Dolce's back. Dolce rolls over and pulls guard, but he eats punches and elbows for the duration of the round.

The second frame in underway, and Taylor scores the quick takedown. Working from inside Dolce's guard, he throws hammerfists and elbows, and he then jumps into sidemount and finally into the full mount. Dolce tries to tie him up, but he gives up his back in the process. Taylor continues the assault and then locks in a deep rear-naked choke. Dolce can't break free this time and finally taps out.
