Helix must be cautious of submissions here, given that his opponent has the superior Jiu Jitsu.
That's three minutes gone in the round.
Joshy is working for submissions here. He's thrown up his legs looking for a triangle but Helix frees his head nicely. Oh but Joshy has switched to an armbar! Helix is tapping furiously! Lovely submission there!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:33 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle Armbar). Bam Bam Joshy!
