Stenberg sitting in guard doing not very much at all here. Sundberg doesn't need a second invitation though! He's locked up a guillotine and he's squeezing tight! That is tiiiiiiiiight! Stenberg paying the price for stalling here - he's pushing hard on the arm trying to free himself but it's no use! He's tapped! WOW, quick submission from Sundberg - great work!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:32 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Guillotine). Ove Sundberg!
