Boooooooooooooooooooo!!! God, this has been a terrible round. Come on you two, sort yourselves out!
Theyer content to sit in guard, stalling... Great. Oh but he could get punished here because Abbott has locked up a guillotine! Abbott's face is contorted as he sqeezes tight on the submission attempt - will he finish? Theyer is holding on here and Abbott must be using up a lot of energy. Theyer has gone limp! He's out! He's out cold! Abbott gets to his feet, tossing aside his stricken foe. Arms raised, he milks the applause from the crowd. Great submission!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 14:57 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Guillotine). Darrell Abbott!
An out of breath Darrell Abbott thanked his loyal fans in his post fight interview, giving them credit for his success over the course of his career. |
