Takahashi moves to the back.
Takahashi trying to secure his dominant position for a moment - making sure Jedrzejczyk doesn't escape. #SUB#
Takahashi is working the back position looking for the choke. Oh, he's slid into an armbar! Beautiful transition and Jedrzejczyk taps out! Fantastic Jiu Jitsu from Takahashi .
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:39 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). Keoji Takahashi !
In defeat, Karolina Jedrzejczyk stepped up to the mic, saying 'I will be back strongly!'.
