Do Souza stands up over his opponent, looking to dive in with a big punch. Here he comes, superman style! Oh, the punch misses and Man has got him in a triangle choke for good measure! Oh no! Do Souza manages to get his head free but now Man has transitioned to an armbar! Do Souza grimaces and is forced to tap! Beautiful Jiu Jitsu from Man! I'd be surprised if that didn't end up as submission of the night!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:21 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). Rat Man!
