Santos wants to control but Denari postures up.#T11##SUB2#
Denari is working for what looks like an arm triangle here. Santos is trying to escape and Denari transitions quickly into an armbar! He's slapped it on tight and Santos is forced to tap! Nice work there by Denari! Very nice indeed!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 11:28 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). Desmodium Denari!
Desmodium Denari thanked the fans post fight for their support. |
