Nickels scores with a nice takedown into half guard. Let's see what he's got on the ground.
Steve is working for an escape here. He's hooked one of Nickels's legs and he's managed to sneak out and take Nickels's back!#SUB#
Steve sinks in the hooks and is looking for the choke. He's got it! Nickels taps out!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:22 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (RNC). Dennis Steve!
In his post fight interview, Dennis Steve started talking himself up. Luckily his charisma kept the crowd on side and gave him a good reception.
