Vorster is looking to defend but Simmons has done well to lock his legs together - this could be big trouble for Vorster! Simmons pulls down on the head and a little smile comes across his face - he knows he's got it. Yep, Vorster taps out and this one is all over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:57 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle). Fred Simmons!
Jumping up and down and very excited, Fred Simmons waved his t-shirt featuring Spartan Nutrition 's logo in front of the cameras.
