White gets a double leg takedown into Sakuraba's guard.
Sakuraba has a loose triangle. He'll be looking to tighten that up but White can see exactly what he's planning and manages to posture up and free himself. Sakuraba lands a beautiful switch and he's in full mount! That could spell trouble for White! White wants to control but Sakuraba is having none of it.
White is flailing around, obviously not happy about being mounted. Sakuraba locks hold of one of his arms and spins for an armbar. He's got it! White is forced to tap!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:50 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). Kazushi Sakuraba! Kazushi Sakuraba made sure to mention his sponsor, Raw Edge Gear (R.E.G) in his post fight interview.
