Cooper has a loose triangle. He'll be looking to tighten that up but Hemsko can see exactly what he's planning and manages to posture up and free himself.
Cooper working the defensive guard well to avoid strikes from Hemsko.
Hemsko is trying to tuck his arms in to keep them safe but Cooper has managed to isolate one of them and has got a loose triangle. Hemsko is looking to defend but Cooper has done well to lock his legs together - this could be big trouble for Hemsko! Cooper pulls down on the head and a little smile comes across his face - he knows he's got it. Yep, Hemsko taps out and this one is all over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:02 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle). Sephiroth Cooper!
