Cartwright slows the pace down in half guard.
That's four minutes gone in the round.
Cartwright in half guard on the top. He's looking for a kimura... He's got it locked and he's managed to free his trapped foot. Noisewater tries to escape but it's on too tight and he has to tap! Great BJJ skills there from Cartwright!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:19 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Kimura). Caidan Cartwright!
During a confident post fight interview, Caidan Cartwright thanked all his fans. He seemed very genuine when describing how motivated his fans keep him.
