Smith is a painfully thin specimen of a man. You do wonder whether a good body kick would snap him clean in two.
This is a great period of action - very entertaining stuff!
Smith stands up over his opponent, looking to dive in with a big punch. Here he comes, superman style! Oh, the punch misses and Park has got him in a triangle choke for good measure! Oh no! Smith manages to get his head free but now Park has transitioned to an armbar! Smith grimaces and is forced to tap! Beautiful Jiu Jitsu from Park! I'd be surprised if that didn't end up as submission of the night!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:46 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). Hae Ki Park!
A loyal slave to those sponsorship dollars, Hae Ki Park made sure he mentioned BeastMode, along with how happy he was to win his fight.
