Bourne wants to pass the guard but Cahill is keeping the position.
Cahill looking to try and escape his hips here, looking for a submission. It looks like he's going for a triangle but Bourne is defending well. Cahill quickly switches to an armbar and extends the arm! Bourne has no choice but to tap, to a very quick submission! Wow, that was lightning fast! Cahill celebrates on the cage, with the crowd.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:56 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). Jim Cahill! |
