Zinn looking for submissions from the bottom here. Moving his hips around, possibly looking for an armbar.
#T3##SUB2#
Zinn is actively looking for submissions from his back. He's worked himself a little space on the bottom and seems to be going for a triangle. No, he's switched into an armbar! That was slick! Young rolls with it to try and escape but Zinn cranks on the arm and Young is forced to tap out! This one is aaaaaaaaall over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:22 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). Noam Zinn!
Noam Zinn bigged himself up after the win. The crowd seemed to love it.
