Bristol's had his first pro fight Sat. night in Atlantic City.
here's what http://www.sherdog.com/news/articles.asp?n_id=2836 said about the fight,
The second bout of the night was a heavyweight fight pitting Alexei Vezelezorov against Bristol Marunde of Seattle. Unlike the opening match-up there was nothing tentative about the pace of this fight — both went all out from the start.
Vezelezorov dropped Bristol early in round one with a roundhouse to the head, but Bristol recovered very quickly, avoiding an armbar attempt and connecting with a series of punches that bloodied Alexei before the bell sounded.
Alexei recovered quickly and forced the pace at the start of round two, connecting with successive roundhouse kicks and then taking the fight to the ground. That proved to be a mistake, however, as Bristol soon turned the tide, submitting Vezelezorov with a kimura at the 3:46 mark.
