oCrazy 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 Ragnarsson. Oh but oCrazy has got full guard now! Oh boy! This one could be over very soon! Ragnarsson goes limp - he's gone! oCrazy jumps up and celebrates with the crowd - fantastic submission finish!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:56 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Guillotine). Idi oCrazy!
An out of breath Idi oCrazy thanked his loyal fans in his post fight interview, giving them credit for his success over the course of his career.
Sigurd Ragnarsson spoke after the fight, saying 'Grabs MICs I'll Be Back Howls and runns out of the cage'.
