Verhoeven looking to try and escape his hips here, looking for a submission. It looks like he's going for a triangle but Tappe is defending well. Verhoeven quickly switches to an armbar and extends the arm! Tappe has no choice but to tap, to a very quick submission! Wow, that was lightning fast! Verhoeven celebrates on the cage, with the crowd.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:18 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). Henny Verhoeven!
