Appalusu gets the takedown into side control. #SUB#
Appalusu looking for an arm triangle but it's way too loose to do anything. #SUB#
Appalusu has an Americana. Cardozo didn't react quickly enough there and he's in big trouble now! He tries to squirm out but is forced to tap! Appalusu is delighted and gyrates in front of the ring girls. They seem to like the attention - it'll be interesting to see if Appalusu hooks up with any of them at the after show party.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:21 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Americana). Alzonz Appalusu!
Alzonz Appalusu gave a mention to Rogue Clothing in his post fight interview. That will please them (and hopefully generate some sales).
