Brzozowski 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. Brzozowski seems to have locked his on tight now - Turrik screams in pain and taps out furiously! It certainly was a high risk move but it's paid off for Brzozowski, as he picks up the win!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:42 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Kneebar). Bartosz Brzozowski! |
