Litten is looking to regain full guard. Not this time though. #SUB2#
Newalu is looking for a kimura but he's never going to get it from there. #SUB2#
Newalu is trying a forearm choke… I don't think that's going to do much at this level of the game.
Litten has no desire to be mounted, so is trying to control. Newalu is working away from the top position though.#T3##SUB2#
Newalu is working for a submission of some sort.

Newalu is working for a kimura here but Litten manages to reverse the position and he's now in Newalu's guard.

Litten has a momentary lapse of concentration, allowing Newalu to throw up a leg and lock on what appears to be a pretty tight triangle! Litten is fighting it off but it's all too little too late - Newalu pulls down on the head and he's put Litten to sleep! This one is all over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:59 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle). Feleti Newalu!
Feleti Newalu thanked the fans post fight for their support.
