Bronco is actively looking for submissions from his back. He's worked himself a little space on the bottom and seems to be going for a triangle. No, he's switched into an armbar! That was slick!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:56 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). Johnny Bronco!
Johnny Bronco retains his welterweight title!
