Osipov is working for submissions here. He's thrown up his legs looking for a triangle but Diabeetus frees his head nicely. Oh but Osipov has switched to an armbar! Diabeetus is tapping furiously! Lovely submission there!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 5:57 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle Armbar). Fedor Osipov!
Fedor Osipov was full of energy after the big win and talked about how he thinks he can do big things in this sport. The crowd were appreciative of his determination to succeed. |
