The bell rings for round one and we are underway!

Sanderson feints and then dives in with a takedown. That was a long way out but the feint bought him enough time to close the distance and complete the takedown. Now we'll play guard for a bit and see who can get the better of that position.
Sanderson is standing up over Wilder. Wilder looks to escape but Sanderson dives into side control.
We could do with one of the fighters taking the initiative a bit more on the ground - they're both waiting to capitalize on a mistake.

Sanderson has an Americana. Wilder didn't react quickly enough there and he's in big trouble now! He tries to squirm out but is forced to tap! Sanderson is delighted and gyrates in front of the ring girls. They seem to like the attention - it'll be interesting to see if Sanderson hooks up with any of them at the after show party.

Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:24 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Americana). Gary Sanderson !
Gary Sanderson tried to hype himself up post fight but didn't word it too well and it ended up with him sounding like a bit of a tool.
