Declan Moody vs Patrick Gaudio

Declan Moody imposed a strong top game early against Patrick Gaudio at UFC BJJ 7: Tackett vs Rocha. Gaudio conceded height and weight to Moody, and the strength and power advantage proved decisive as Moody forced Gaudio onto his back.

When Gaudio rolled to attack the legs and took his hands off Moody's grips to address the feet, Moody capitalized. Gaudio attempted to lock up a heel hook, but Moody defended well to avoid trouble. Moody then transitioned to Gaudio's back, secured a rear naked choke, and finished before the end of Round 1.

It was Moody's UFC BJJ debut, and he put the heavyweight and light heavyweight divisions on notice with an emphatic finish.
