Zmertin has his foot on Moskoff's thigh. He's trying to push off and get in position for a triangle, I think. Moskoff works his way back into a safe position though.
Moskoff is trying to work a guillotine from the top, or something like that? Don't know how he thinks he's going to get a finish from there.
Zmertin looking for a sweep. Not yet Zmertin, not yet.
Zmertin thows some rabbit punches from the bottom but they don't do any damage.
Zmertin looking to sweep here. No luck so far.
Zmertin working from the bottom, still in full guard. He's managed to get a loose triangle. Moskoff doesn't seem to be doing much to defend here, obviously he feels comfortable in the position. Oh but Zmertin is tightening it up a little... Moskoff has to be careful here... He's got his foot tucked under now, this looks tight! Moskoff reacted too slowly and this one could be over in a matter of seconds! YES! Moskoff taps out! nice BJJ there by Zmertin!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:03 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle Choke). Yuri Zmertin!
Yuri Zmertin is the new super heavyweight champion!
