Yoshida working from the bottom, still in full guard. He's managed to get a loose triangle. Lauren doesn't seem to be doing much to defend here, obviously he feels comfortable in the position. Oh but Yoshida is tightening it up a little... Lauren has to be careful here... He's got his foot tucked under now, this looks tight! Lauren reacted too slowly and this one could be over in a matter of seconds! YES! Lauren taps out! Nice BJJ there by Yoshida!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 7:37 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle Choke). Myuki Yoshida! |
