Yrkje is looking to cinch up a triangle. Anubis throws the leg off to one side though and gets in tight to Yrkje's body to avoid the submission. Yrkje has instead reached around Anubis's neck and now has a guillotine! Oh, this is biiiig trouble! Yrkje arches his back and squeezes and forces the tap from his hapless opponent.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:54 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Guillotine). Toby Keith Yrkje!
A relieved looking Toby Keith Yrkje thanked the fans for their support and gave the usual line about them being amazing. They seemed to believe that he actually meant it.
