Barral is actively looking for submissions from his back. He's worked himself a little space on the bottom and seems to be going for a triangle. No, he's switched into an armbar! That was slick! Tchami rolls with it to try and escape but Barral cranks on the arm and Tchami is forced to tap out! This one is aaaaaaaaall over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:24 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). Romulo Barral!
Alphonse Tchami was interviewed post fight and said 'It's disappointing, but I'll train hard and come back stronger next time.'.
