Potter drops back for a leg but he's not going to get it - he lets go and Roberts dives on top into guard.
Roberts stands over his opponent and dives in with a flying punch! Potter throws up his legs and catches Roberts in a triangle! Oh this looks tight! Roberts tries to escape but he's forced to tap! Wow, fantastic work there by Potter! That came out of nowhere!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:46 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle Choke). Ryan Potter!
A very excited looking Ryan Potter made sure he remembered to thank all the fans both in the arena and on the internet. He said all the coolest people spend all day on MMA websites, which got a big reaction.
