Rua working for a submission but Wright is keeping him at bay.
Rua is working to isolate an arm here. It's a telegraphed submission attempt but he's gone for it anyway - and he's got it! Rua extends the arm and Wright is forced to tap!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:42 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). Mauricio Rua!
A very excited looking Mauricio Rua made sure he remembered to thank all the fans both in the arena and on the internet. He said all the coolest people spend all day on MMA websites, which got a big reaction.
