Vattalles is trying to work for a kimura. This could be trouble! No, Haba has managed to free his arm - good work. #SUB2#
Vattalles in half guard on the top. He's looking for a kimura... He's got it locked and he's managed to free his trapped foot. Haba tries to escape but it's on too tight and he has to tap! Great BJJ skills there from Vattalles!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:52 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Kimura). Mee Vattalles!
