Hagen seems to be working for a kimura but Martinez defends the submission attempt.
Hagen has hold of the far side arm. He's working for the Kimura, can Martinez defend it? Hagen steps over the head and cranks it - Martinez is tapping out! That was textbook stuff right there - nice submission victory for Hagen!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:26 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Kimura). Tom Hagen!
Tom Hagen very nearly forgot to thank [CBK] LEGAL HIGHS « SFL ↑ 5x160Q amongst all the excitement of his win but just as the interview came to a close, he screamed their name. Hopefully he'll get a few nice freebies in the mail as a thank you.
