Resende is trying to work for a kimura. This could be trouble! No, Dollar has managed to free his arm - good work. #SUB2#
Resende in half guard on the top. He's looking for a kimura... He's got it locked and he's managed to free his trapped foot. Dollar tries to escape but it's on too tight and he has to tap! Great BJJ skills there from Resende!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:32 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Kimura). Wagner Resende!
