Silva is rocked!
We've had a lack of effective grappling in the last minute or so, which could well see a referee standup.

Silva is working actively from the bottom, looking for submissions. He's escaped his hips to the side and he's going for an armbar! Vemola has his hands clasped together but Silva extends and breaks Vemola's desperate grasp, forcing a tap out due to armbar! Nice BJJ displayed there by Silva.

Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:43 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). Rich Silva!
A less than humble Rich Silva misjudged his post fight interview somewhat and came across a little too arrogant whilst trying to hype up his own abilities.
