I've watched the first round. Good work!
Advise...
1. learn the standing guillotine. After your punch he dropped his head, he was open to guillotine.
2. Keep your ass underneath you when you double leg. You got the take down but it is easier with your hips under yourself.
3. Sweeps would have helped you as he kept you under him.

Round 2
Good lateral movement, tried to keep outside of strong hand
Don't turn you back to opponent when retreating.
Pillow kicks. Work on kick power.

Round 3
Lots of head shots by both fighters.
Pretty even fight, as you got the first round take down I would have given you this fight.
