Da Costa working for a submission here. He's tucked his head under his opponent's arm, looking for an arm triangle. He's hopped off into side control, looking to tighten the submission... is it going to work? He's given up a good position looking for it. Balle looks OK. Oh, I spoke too soon, he's out! That must have been tighter than I thought! Excellent work there by Da Costa! Submission of the night perhaps?
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:57 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Arm Triangle). Tiago Da Costa!
