Rio working from the bottom, still in full guard. He's managed to get a loose triangle. Kicking doesn't seem to be doing much to defend here, obviously he feels comfortable in the position. Oh but Rio is tightening it up a little... Kicking has to be careful here... He's got his foot tucked under now, this looks tight! Kicking reacted too slowly and this one could be over in a matter of seconds! YES! Kicking taps out! Nice BJJ there by Rio!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:58 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle Choke). Nathan Rio! |
