Cheyenne clinches. #TD#
Cheyenne has managed to pull guard. Let's see whether he can work an aggressive guard. It will also be interesting to see what tactics Sure uses from the top position.
The ref warns both fighters not to hold the cage as they work up against the meshing.#SUB#
Cheyenne has thrown up a leg looking for a triangle. Sure doesn't defend quickly enough and Cheyenne has managed to lock this one up! Can Sure escape?! NO! He's tapping out! Damn, that was a quick submission - congrats to Cheyenne on a fantastic submission victory.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:31 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle). Chief Cheyenne!
A relieved looking Chief Cheyenne thanked the fans for their support and gave the usual line about them being amazing. They seemed to believe that he actually meant it.
