timorian trying to control the position.
timorian has managed to work for a loose triangle. I think Jacobs should be able to defend this one pretty easily though. Oh, timorian has tightened it up now! Jacobs should have reacted faster there - he's in big trouble and yes, he's tapped out! This one is all over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 8:54 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle). tweeti timorian!
