Lee is squirming around, avoiding Enormis's attempts to control the action.
Enormis is giving the impression that he's looking to ground and pound but he switches suddenly into a beautiful far side armbar! Lee is forced to tap! Great finish!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:55 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). Viatus Enormis!
A very excited looking Viatus Enormis made sure he remembered to thank all the fans both in the arena and on the internet. He said all the coolest people spend all day on MMA websites, which got a big reaction.
