Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Wells Dengel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Geoff Deal (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Dengel might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to "Backlash" by Front Line Assembly. Geoff Deal is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.

Rotterdam gets back to full guard.
Bringer is sitting in close to Rotterdam's body. Rotterdam has gone for a guillotine from the bottom. Oh damn, that looks pretty tight! Bringer is panicking - it looks like this one could be all over! Yes, Bringer is tapping! That was a very nice submission by Rotterdam.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:40 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Guillotine). Yourn Rotterdam!
Yourn Rotterdam is the new heavyweight champion!
