Pipes is working Williams over from the guard. He should look to pass the guard and do a little more damage with these strikes. #SUB2#
Pipes is sitting in close to Williams's body. Williams has gone for a guillotine from the bottom. Oh damn, that looks pretty tight! Pipes is panicking - it looks like this one could be all over! Yes, Pipes is tapping! That was a very nice submission by Williams.

Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:52 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Guillotine). Spencer Williams!
