Daikaura 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! Gold rolls with it to try and escape but Daikaura cranks on the arm and Gold is forced to tap out! This one is aaaaaaaaall over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:01 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). Eiki Daikaura!
Eiki Daikaura retains his featherweight title!
