Bar gets back to full guard.
Alan avoids a guillotine attempt easily.
Bar is working actively from the bottom, looking for submissions. He's escaped his hips to the side and he's going for an armbar! Alan has his hands clasped together but Bar extends and breaks Alan's desperate grasp, forcing a tap out due to armbar! Nice BJJ displayed there by Bar.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:45 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). Wilhelm Bar!
In defeat, Dick Alan stepped up to the mic, saying 'Fuck'. |
