Monroe closes the distance but Gray moves to the side #TD#
and Gray counters with a nice double leg into half guard. #SUB#
Gray is working for a submission here. He's got hold of the far side arm and he's looking for a kimura. He's cranking on the arm and he's got it! Monroe is tapping out! Ouch, that looked like it hurt!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:25 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Kimura). Darryl Gray!
