The fans in attendance giving it up for the two fighters, who have really let it all hang out in the last minute or so!

Adalsteinn has an omoplata and is looking to use it perhaps as a submission or perhaps to transition. Gracie is in a bit of discomfort here, but he's managed to free himself and has dived into side control! That didn't work out too well for Adalsteinn.

Adalsteinn is real pain and he's forced to tap out! Adalsteinn is disgusted with himself for not defending it better but Gracie couldn't care less - he's delighted!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:42 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Kimura). Rodrigo Gracie !
Rodrigo Gracie really struggled to get his t-shirt on before his hand was raised. Making sure that Atlantis logo gets some air time is pretty tricky when you're all sweaty.
