TWGC 16 (145lbs, D4): Las Vegas Qualifier - Round 1 PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight Tycoon World Grappling Championship rules bout between Tristan Lancier and James Steel. Tristan Lancier had a look across the cage there at his opponent. He definitely means business
This TWGC bout is 1 fifteen minute round in the featherweight division. Introducing today's competitors. In the red corner, competing out of Los Angeles, with a TWGC record of 1 wins and 1 losses; Tristan Lancier! And in the blue corner, fighting out of Hilo, with a TWGC record of 0 wins and 0 losses; James Steel! The judges for this bout are Daniel Franklin, Wesley Smith and Tiny Johnson.
The official calls the fighters to the middle and the contest is under way. Lancier leaves Steel with his face pressed against the mat as he sprawls beautifully, defending against a solid takedown attempt. Steel fails with the takedown and Lancier counters by moving into the clinch. Steel is trying to pull guard but Lancier turns him against the cage and we stay in the clinch. Tristan Lancier has stuffed three takedown attempts in the round now. That's going to take a lot out of James Steel. Lancier gets the body lock takedown. After a quick scramble, Steel regains guard.
Score +2 for takedown into guard / half guard: Lancier (2) vs (0) Steel Steel has managed to work for a loose triangle. I think Lancier should be able to defend this one pretty easily though. Oh, Steel has tightened it up now! Lancier should have reacted faster there - he's in big trouble and yes, he's tapped out! This one is all over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:43 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle). James Steel! |
