Smith passes into half guard.
Smith 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. Kolom tries to escape but it's on too tight and he has to tap! Great BJJ skills there from Smith!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:05 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Kimura). Alex Smith!
Alex Smith is the new lightweight champion!
