Johnson tries to land a sweep but no joy.
Johnson bucks up whilst keeping hold of a body lock, managing to reverse the position. Now he's in top in Quen's guard. #REVB##SUB#
Quen working from the bottom, still in full guard. He's managed to get a loose triangle. Johnson doesn't seem to be doing much to defend here, obviously he feels comfortable in the position. Johnson manages to throw the legs off his shoulder and he's back into guard - no problem.
Johnson wants to pass the guard but Quen is keeping the position.#T3#
Johnson passes Quen's left leg - he's now in half guard.
Johnson is a painfully thin specimen of a man. You do wonder whether a good body kick would snap him clean in two.
Johnson is pressing down on Quen's thigh, looking to free his foot. Quen is holding on for now.
Johnson content to control rather than advance.
Johnson passes to full mount!
Quen tries to get back to half guard but can't. #T4##SUB2#
Johnson quickly switches position and commits to an armbar! It's a big risk for Johnson but it's paid off an Quen is forced to tap! Nice work by Johnson.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:28 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). Otavio Johnson!
