Wallace is posturing up here but Puch has hold of an arm and he's gone for an armbar! Wallace tries to roll out but it's too tight and Wallace has to tap! Slick submission there by Puch!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:29 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). Robledo Puch!
Robledo Puch decided to hype himself up post fight. It was going well but he went on about it a bit too long and the crowd turned on him a little.
In defeat, Marcellas Wallace stepped up to the mic, saying 'What now? Let me tell you what now. I'ma call a couple hard, pipe hittin' ni**as to go to work on homes here with a pair of pliers and a blowtorch. You hear me talkin' hillbilly boy? I ain't through with you by a damn sight. I'ma get medieval on your ass.'.
