Lee fending off the submission attempt from Bleak. #SUB#
Bleak looking for the rear naked choke. And he's got it! Lee taps!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 7:26 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (RNC). Wulfgang Bleak!
A loyal slave to those sponsorship dollars, Wulfgang Bleak made sure he mentioned Advance Sport Supplements , along with how happy he was to win his fight. |
