The fighters are pressed up against the cage, both looking to find a bit of space to work.#SUB#
Amsterdam is working for what looks like an arm triangle here. Ferrall is trying to escape and Amsterdam transitions quickly into an armbar! He's slapped it on tight and Ferrall is forced to tap! Nice work there by Amsterdam! Very nice indeed!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:37 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). Hilo Amsterdam!
