XsX will need to keep those long limbs tucked in whilst he's on the ground, to prevent any submissions.
Soooza looking to try and escape his hips here, looking for a submission. It looks like he's going for a triangle but XsX is defending well. Soooza quickly switches to an armbar and extends the arm! XsX has no choice but to tap, to a very quick submission! Wow, that was lightning fast! Soooza celebrates on the cage, with the crowd.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:57 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). Jacare Soooza!
