Lati wanted to stand there but King had control of the position.
Lati wants to stand up, so he's looking to wriggle free of King's closed guard. He's half up but King has locked on to an arm! Uh oh! King pivots and extends the arm, Lati falls face first to the mat and taps??... does he?? YES! He's tapping! Excellent counter grappling there by King! Well done that man!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:52 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). Andy King!
Andy King is the new lightweight champion!
A very excited looking Andy King made sure he remembered to thank all the fans both in the arena and on the internet. He said all the coolest people spend all day on MMA websites, which got a big reaction.
