We get told so often about how wrestlers don't like to be on their backs. Let's see if Rokicki can do anything to dispel that myth.
Rokicki has left one of his arms exposed and Rotolo doesn't need a second invitation. He's isolated it and locked on a tight armbar. Rokicki screams and taps out, obviously in a lot of pain. Hopefully there isn't permanent damage to that arm.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:52 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). Carlito Rotolo!

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Dre Still (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Felix Mayor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Still's entrance music is Dr. Dre - Still D.R.E.. A fine choice. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
