Paul working some ground and pound from close in. He's looking to maintain this position and strike for a while by the looks of things... although he'll probably advance to full mount in a minute now I've said that.
Paul is working for a submission here. He's got hold of the far side arm and he's looking for a kimura. He's cranking on the arm and he's got it! Ferreira is tapping out! Ouch, that looked like it hurt!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:38 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Kimura). John Paul!
John Paul is the new welterweight champion!
