Roger throwing shots but they're hitting the canvas more than the man. #SUB2#
Roger has hold of the far side arm. He's working for the Kimura, can Moore defend it? Roger steps over the head and cranks it - Moore is tapping out! That was textbook stuff right there - nice submission victory for Roger!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:55 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Kimura). Jolly Roger!
