Tosh working hard here to secure a kimura but he's not really in the right position for it.
Tosh scores with a couple of short elbows.
Tosh is in a dominant position here, looking for a kimura. Magalhaes looks calm but he's in trouble here. Tosh gets his leg over his opponent's head and yanks on the arm. Magalhaes is tapping like a morse code operator on the titanic! SOS! SOS! Tosh lets go of the hold and Magalhaes can pop his arm back in it's socket.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:56 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Kimura). Peter Tosh!
Peter Tosh is the new welterweight champion!
A victorious Peter Tosh thanked his army of followers in his post fight interview, telling people to make sure they follow him on Twitter.
