Lil I has his foot on Johnson's thigh. He's trying to push off and get in position for a triangle, I think. Johnson works his way back into a safe position though.
Lil I has thrown up a leg looking for a triangle. Johnson doesn't defend quickly enough and Lil I has managed to lock this one up! Can Johnson escape?! NO! He's tapping out! Damn, that was a quick submission - congrats to Lil I on a fantastic submission victory.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:56 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle). Ba Lil I!
