so Slam counters with a double leg into guard. Good agility.
Nogueira might be looking to lock onto one of his opponent's long limbs for a submission, whilst we're on the ground.
Nogueira is actively looking for submissions from his back. He's worked himself a little space on the bottom and seems to be going for a triangle. No, he's switched into an armbar! That was slick! Slam rolls with it to try and escape but Nogueira cranks on the arm and Slam is forced to tap out! This one is aaaaaaaaall over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:05 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). Antonio Nogueira!
