Bastiat working from mount. He moves in close and looks like he might be going for an arm triangle... He's hopped off to the side and he's transitioned into an Anaconda choke. Lii turning a nasty shade of purple. He's refusing to tap but he's gone! He's out! The ref rips Bastiat off and cradles Lii's limp body as Bastiat celebrates with his corner.

Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:58 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Anaconda Choke). Frederic Bastiat!
