Bato controlling the position from side mount.
That's four minutes gone in the round.
Bato has an Americana. Sarpong didn't react quickly enough there and he's in big trouble now! He tries to squirm out but is forced to tap! Bato is delighted and gyrates infront of the ring girls. They seem to like the attention - it'll be interesting to see if Bato hooks up with any of them at the after show party.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:37 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Americana). Totoy Bato!
