Mayflower tries for a kimura but Shewmaker is defending well.
Shewmaker wants to control but Mayflower postures up.
Mayflower has worked his way into a potential kimura here. Shewmaker is trying to get out of the position but his squirming has just got him deeper into trouble. Mayflower yanks on the arm and Shewmaker is forced to tap due to a very painful looking submission! Nice work by Mayflower.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:56 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Kimura). Larry Mayflower!
Larry Mayflower is the new heavyweight champion!
