Chen has one foot on Klea's thigh - he pushes off and manages to get back to his feet.#T1##CL#
Chen moves into range and clinches up with Klea.#TD2#
Klea turns his hips and lands a very nice judo throw into side control!#SUB2#
Klea has an Americana. Chen didn't react quickly enough there and he's in big trouble now! He tries to squirm out but is forced to tap! Klea is delighted and gyrates in front of the ring girls. They seem to like the attention - it'll be interesting to see if Klea hooks up with any of them at the after show party.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:43 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Americana). Alteo Klea! |
