Officer looking to try and escape his hips here, looking for a submission. It looks like he's going for a triangle but Scorpion is defending well. Officer quickly switches to an armbar and extends the arm! Scorpion has no choice but to tap, to a very quick submission! Wow, that was lightning fast! Officer celebrates on the cage, with the crowd.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 8:57 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). Police Officer!
Police Officer really struggled to get his t-shirt on before his hand was raised. Making sure that Humanoid Nutrition (160Q for 180$) logo gets some air time is pretty tricky when you're all sweaty. |
