Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Forrest Griffon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fernardo Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Griffon might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to I'm Shipping out to Boston by Dropkick Murphys. On his way into the cage it seems that Forrest Griffon has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Forrest Griffon seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Goodbody is looking to get to half guard.
Goodbody has left one of his arms exposed and Mouton doesn't need a second invitation. He's isolated it and locked on a tight armbar. Goodbody screams and taps out, obviously in a lot of pain. Hopefully there isn't permanent damage to that arm.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:04 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). Issac Mouton!
