Nortega manages to capitalize on a mistake by Coca to take his back!

Nortega has one arm under Coca 's neck. Coca is controlling the other arm well. He's just looking to survive right now. Nortega manages to get his arm free though and Coca is in a world of trouble! Nortega sinks in the hooks and squeezes! Coca turns purple and then goes limp. The referee steps in to end the bout!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:55 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (RNC). O Brian Nortega!
In his post fight interview, O Brian Nortega gave a big smile as he said 'Just like the Eagle, I unveiled my feathers to this little man and pecked at his lower crotch region. Being able to do what I love for a living is amazing, AND I LOVE CROTCH SNIFFING'.

Main event

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Eli Richards (ranked 2466 p4p, 1984 weight class) and Edgar Allen (ranked 203 p4p, 168 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Allen's choice of entrance music: Johnny Cash - God's Gonna Cut You Down. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
