Leopold wants to stand up, so he's looking to wriggle free of Gracie's closed guard. He's half up but Gracie has locked on to an arm! Uh oh! Gracie pivots and extends the arm, Leopold falls face first to the mat and taps??... does he?? YES! He's tapping! Excellent counter grappling there by Gracie! Well done that man!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:29 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). Ricardo Gracie!
