Lelo looks to control his opponent's hands but he's not mananging it at the moment.
That's three minutes gone in the round.
Irusta has the hooks in. Lelo is starting to panic. He's trying to push off one of the legs but he's left his neck open to attack. Irusta passes his arm under Lelo's neck and tightens up a rear naked choke! This one is surely all over! Yes, Lelo taps!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:29 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (RNC). Claudio Irusta!
