Machado has an Americana. Johnson didn't react quickly enough there and he's in big trouble now! He tries to squirm out but is forced to tap! Machado is delighted and gyrates infront of the ring girls. They seem to like the attention - it'll be interesting to see if Machado hooks up with any of them at the after show party.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:34 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Americana). Peter Machado!
Peter Machado is the new welterweight champion!
