#SUB#
Wellington has hold of a guillotine but he's not going to be able to crank on it really with only half guard, so it's no trouble for Santos. Oh but Wellington has got full guard now! Oh boy! This one could be over very soon! Santos goes limp - he's gone! Wellington jumps up and celebrates with the crowd - fantastic submission finish!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:35 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Guillotine). Chad Wellington! |
