Valentino is looking to improve his position. #SUB#
Andreas looking for a kimura but he'll have to free his other leg if he wants to finish that. Perhaps he's just using it as a distraction technique. #T2##SUB#
Andreas is looking for a kimura but he's never going to get it from there. #SUB#
Andreas maintaining the dominant position here and is working for a kimura. He's locked it up! Valentino could be in real trouble here! He's trying to wriggle out but Andreas has cracked it and Valentino is screaming in pain - he's tapped out! Great finish by Andreas!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:50 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Kimura). Will Andreas!
Will Andreas seemed lost for words in his post fight interview but he remembered to thank his fans and directed everyone to his website.
