Oh but Niputtaja is tightening it up a little... Richmond has to be careful here... He's got his foot tucked under now, this looks tight! Richmond reacted too slowly and this one could be over in a matter of seconds! YES! Richmond taps out! Nice BJJ there by Niputtaja!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:54 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle Choke). Nikke Niputtaja!
