We've had a slow start to the round here - hopefully the action picks up.#T1##SUB#
Argyros has worked his way into a potential kimura here. Lees is trying to get out of the position but his squirming has just got him deeper into trouble. Argyros yanks on the arm and Lees is forced to tap due to a very painful looking submission! Nice work by Argyros.

Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:19 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Kimura). Kosmos Argyros!
