Rodrigues gets taken down but at least he's managed to land in guard.
Rodrigues looking to try and escape his hips here, looking for a submission. It looks like he's going for a triangle but Hart is defending well. Rodrigues quickly switches to an armbar and extends the arm! Hart has no choice but to tap, to a very quick submission! Wow, that was lightning fast! Rodrigues celebrates on the cage, with the crowd.
