Youngblood jumps into guard, dragging Cracker to the mat.

Youngblood working from the bottom, still in full guard. He's managed to get a loose triangle. Cracker doesn't seem to be doing much to defend here, obviously he feels comfortable in the position. Oh but Youngblood is tightening it up a little... Cracker has to be careful here... He's got his foot tucked under now, this looks tight! Cracker reacted too slowly and this one could be over in a matter of seconds! YES! Cracker taps out! nice BJJ there by Youngblood!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:52 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle Choke). Mason Youngblood!
