There's a bit of a scramble here and now Johnson is on top in guard.

That's three minutes gone in the round.

Snake looking to try and escape his hips here, looking for a submission. It looks like he's going for a triangle but Johnson is defending well. Snake quickly switches to an armbar and extends the arm! Johnson has no choice but to tap, to a very quick submission! Wow, that was lightning fast! Snake celebrates on the cage, with the crowd.

Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:21 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). Liquid Snake!
Liquid Snake is the new light heavyweight champion!
During a confident post fight interview, Liquid Snake thanked all his fans. He seemed very genuine when describing how motivated his fans keep him.
