Holl is looking to get back to his feet here but Suuhun is keeping cool and he's managed to take Holl's back.#SUB2#
Suuhun is working on the RNC. He looks like he's got it but Holl won't tap... Oh, he's out! The ref rips Suuhun off his unconscious opponent!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:31 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (RNC). Kulli Suuhun!
