Kim has hold of a guillotine but he's not going to be able to crank on it really with only half guard, so it's no trouble for Tandelov. Oh but Kim has got full guard now! Oh boy! This one could be over very soon! Tandelov goes limp - he's gone! Kim jumps up and celebrates with the crowd - fantastic submission finish!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:20 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Guillotine). Jong Un Kim!
Jong Un Kim retains his bantamweight title!
Jong Un Kim decided to thank the fans in attendance for making a great atmosphere. It seemed to go down pretty well.
