Gaines is working actively from the bottom, looking for submissions. He's escaped his hips to the side and he's going for an armbar! Usmen has his hands clasped together but Gaines extends and breaks Usmen's desperate grasp, forcing a tap out due to armbar! Nice BJJ displayed there by Gaines.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:49 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). Rusty Gaines!
