Reynolds stalling. #SUB2#
Reynolds is looking for a kimura but he's never going to get it from there. #SUB2#
Law is looking to regain full guard. He's left an arm up in the air though and Reynolds has latched onto it... Big trouble! Reynolds pivots for an armbar - it's in tight and it Law is tapping in no time flat! Great counter grappling there from Reynolds!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:55 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). Kai Reynolds!
Kai Reynolds took to the mic in his post fight interview and said 'Sweep the leg'. |
