The crowd thankful this round is nearly over.
Oneil pushes a forearm under Thompson's chin to create some space. He's escaped his hips and pivoted quickly for an armbar! Can he extend the arm? Yes, Thompson is tapping out! Damn, that was fast!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:58 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). David Oneil! David Oneil retains his super heavyweight title!
Our winner, David Oneil, made sure he spent some time buttering up the crowd during his post fight interview, which will no doubt bring him a few more fans.
