Felipe trying to stand up but can't free himself from Estrada's guard.
Felipe preventing the sweep.
Estrada has managed to work for a loose triangle. I think Felipe should be able to defend this one pretty easily though. Oh, Estrada has tightened it up now! Felipe should have reacted faster there - he's in big trouble and yes, he's tapped out! This one is all over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:50 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle). Falko Estrada!
Falko Estrada retains his light heavyweight title!
An out of breath Falko Estrada thanked his loyal fans in his post fight interview, giving them credit for his success over the course of his career.
