You can see the frustration on Statham 's face… He knows he is in trouble unless he improves his position sooner rather than later.
#SUB#
Parker has his opponent's back and is working for the choke. #SUB#
Statham is displaying good submission defense - not really looking in danger of submitting to the rear naked choke at the moment. That could change in an instant of course if Parker gets his way!
#T1#
Statham can't escape the position.
#SUB#
Parker seems to be going for a rear naked choke. He has an arm under Statham 's chin but Statham turns very nicely into Parker's guard. Good BJJ skills being displayed there by Statham .
#SUB#
Statham has a momentary lapse of concentration, allowing Parker to throw up a leg and lock on what appears to be a pretty tight triangle! Statham is fighting it off but it's all too little too late - Parker pulls down on the head and he's put Statham to sleep! This one is all over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:44 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle). Quanah Parker!
A less than humble Quanah Parker misjudged his post fight interview somewhat and came across a little too arrogant whilst trying to hype up his own abilities.
