Glover closes the distance, clinches up and gets a nice trip takedown into side control. Very smooth.
A bit of a lull in the action. I'm sure it will pick up again soon... even if the ref has to physically pick them up and put them back on their feet.
Sotiropoulos really doesn't want to stay on the ground with Glover. If he can't get it back to his feet, it's only a matter of time before he'll be tapping out.
Glover has an Americana. Sotiropoulos didn't react quickly enough there and he's in big trouble now! He tries to squirm out but is forced to tap! Glover is delighted and gyrates in front of the ring girls. They seem to like the attention - it'll be interesting to see if Glover hooks up with any of them at the after show party.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:37 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Americana). Jeff Glover!
