We could do with one of the fighters taking the initiative a bit more on the ground - they're both waiting to capitalize on a mistake.#SUB#
Laws drops back for a leg here. A bit of a high risk move... He's looking for a kneebar by the looks of things. Now both of them are looking for submissions. Laws seems to have locked his on tight now - Sanchez screams in pain and taps out furiously! It certainly was a high risk move but it's paid off for Laws, as he picks up the win!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:21 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Kneebar). Rick Laws!
