Strowman shoots in for a takedown from distance. He catches Carroll napping and manages to drive through into side control!
Carroll wants to get back to his feet but Strowman is dominant here and he's now got Carroll's back!#T3##SUB2#
Strowman is working the back position looking for the choke. Oh, he's slid into an armbar! Beautiful transition and Carroll taps out! Fantastic Jiu Jitsu from Strowman.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:21 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). Braun Strowman!
