Rekis is trying for a kimura here. Hisoka looks like he's in a lot of pain... and he's tapping out! Rekis wins by kimura!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:22 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Kimura). John Rekis!
John Rekis seemed lost for words in his post fight interview but he remembered to thank his fans and directed everyone to his website.
