Covalt trying to punch from his back but it's not doing any damage.
That's two minutes gone in the round.
Covalt is looking to stand back up... there's a bit of a scramble and Contreiras dives into side control.
Contreiras is in a dominant position here, looking for a kimura. Covalt looks calm but he's in trouble here. Contreiras gets his leg over his opponent's head and yanks on the arm. Covalt is tapping like a morse code operator on the titanic! SOS! SOS! Contreiras lets go of the hold and Covalt can pop his arm back in it's socket.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:32 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Kimura). Fabiano Contreiras!
Our winner, Fabiano Contreiras, made sure he spent some time buttering up the crowd during his post fight interview, which will no doubt bring him a few more fans.
