Aurelius has to be careful here, sitting in the guard of a superior BJJ player.
Petrov keeping moving, preventing Aurelius from controlling successfully.
That's one minute gone in the round.
Aurelius tries to free his leg and advance position but Petrov is retaining full guard.
Petrov pushes a forearm under Aurelius's chin to create some space. He's escaped his hips and pivoted quickly for an armbar! Can he extend the arm? Yes, Aurelius is tapping out! Damn, that was fast!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:35 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). Kirill Petrov!
Kirill Petrov is the new featherweight champion!
An out of breath Kirill Petrov thanked his loyal fans in his post fight interview, giving them credit for his success over the course of his career.
