Radovan has no desire to be mounted, so is trying to control. Schopenhauer is working away from the top position though.
We get told so often about how wrestlers don't like to be on their backs. Let's see if Radovan can do anything to dispel that myth.
Schopenhauer is looking to advance position but Radovan won't allow it.
Schopenhauer has hold of the far side arm. He's working for the Kimura, can Radovan defend it? Schopenhauer steps over the head and cranks it - Radovan is tapping out! That was textbook stuff right there - nice submission victory for Schopenhauer!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:42 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Kimura). Arthur Schopenhauer!
Arthur Schopenhauer retains his middleweight title!
After winning the bout, Arthur Schopenhauer thanked all his fans and promised he'd do even better in his next fight. The crowd seemed to love his humility.
