It looks like the ref is thinking about a standup.

LeBlanc drops back looking for a heel hook - he quickly realises he's not going to get it but Yashin manages to dive on top of him before he can escape and now LeBlanc has Yashin in his guard.
LeBlanc keeping moving, preventing Yashin from controlling successfully.

LeBlanc had isolated an arm as going for a kimura. Yashin defends it easily.

LeBlanc working from the bottom, still in full guard. He's managed to get a loose triangle. Yashin doesn't seem to be doing much to defend here, obviously he feels comfortable in the position. Oh but LeBlanc is tightening it up a little... Yashin has to be careful here... He's got his foot tucked under now, this looks tight! Yashin reacted too slowly and this one could be over in a matter of seconds! YES! Yashin taps out! Nice BJJ there by LeBlanc!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:56 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle Choke). Jacob LeBlanc!
