Powders has hold of Guevera's arm here. He's working for an Americana. It looks like he might have it! Guevera tries to escape but he's just digging himself in deeper - Powders cranks the arm and Guevera screams in pain! The ref makes a decision and ends the fight before the tap - no complains from Guevera, who is just happy to have his arm attached to his body.

Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:49 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Americana). Garry Powders!
A relieved looking Garry Powders thanked the fans for their support and gave the usual line about them being amazing. They seemed to believe that he actually meant it.
