Oh but Omenankukka is tightening it up a little... Murillo has to be careful here... He's got his foot tucked under now, this looks tight! Murillo reacted too slowly and this one could be over in a matter of seconds! YES! Murillo taps out! Nice BJJ there by Omenankukka!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:49 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle Choke). Ossi Omenankukka! |
