The bell rings for round one and we are underway! Southall tries to sprawl but Araujo drives through with a takedown into half guard. Southall trying to hold on to Araujo's head to control him but Araujo postures up.
My spies in Soul Supremacy Rio inform me that Araujo has been getting involved in the gym's BJJ sparring sessions. Let's see whether that pays dividends! Southall lands one or two decent shots to the body here. Although from his own half guard, he's not going to be causing too much damage. Araujo maintaining the dominant position here and is working for a kimura. He's locked it up! Southall could be in real trouble here! He's trying to wriggle out but Araujo has cracked it and Southall is screaming in pain - he's tapped out! Great finish by Araujo!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:29 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Kimura). Thiago Araujo!
