Carter looking to score a takedown here. Ike is defending well but Carter drives through and ends up in Ike's guard.
In the pre-fight buildup videos we saw Carter working his ground and pound in the gym. He isn't landing a great percentage of his ground strikes so far though.

Ike is looking to cinch up a triangle. Carter throws the leg off to one side though and gets in tight to Ike's body to avoid the submission. Ike has instead reached around Carter's neck and now has a guillotine! Oh, this is biiiig trouble! Ike arches his back and squeezes and forces the tap from his hapless opponent.

Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:18 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Guillotine). Roy Ike!
After winning the bout, Roy Ike thanked all his fans and promised he'd do even better in his next fight. The crowd seemed to love his humility.
