It looks like Phillipe Vito has been cut.
Mendez has control of Vito's right arm, working for a kimura. It's a bit of a token attempt though and Vito regains control of the situation pretty easily.
Oh Vito is still in real trouble! Will he be able to recover?!! This has been an exciting period of action! Vito is looking to improve his position but Mendez isn't that keen on the idea.
![](https://www.mmatycoon.com/images/fight/1.gif) That's one minute gone in the round.
Vito has left one of his arms exposed and Mendez doesn't need a second invitation. He's isolated it and locked on a tight armbar. Vito screams and taps out, obviously in a lot of pain. Hopefully there isn't permanent damage to that arm.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:26 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). Facundo Mendez!
