Cosby controlling from the guard. I say controlling but really, he's stalling. #SUB#
Mironi pushes a forearm under Cosby's chin to create some space. He's escaped his hips and pivoted quickly for an armbar! Can he extend the arm? Yes, Cosby is tapping out! Damn, that was fast!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:57 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). Franklin Mironi! |
