Jordon lands a nice shot to the body.
Jordon ties up his opponent against the cage and manages to drag the fight down to the ground. Jordon no doubt will be looking to work submissions from his guard.
Jordon has managed to work for a loose triangle. I think Romero should be able to defend this one pretty easily though. Oh, Jordon has tightened it up now! Romero should have reacted faster there - he's in big trouble and yes, he's tapped out! This one is all over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:31 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle). James Jordon! James Jordon retains his middleweight title!
James Jordon gave a mention to MayheM sportswear in his post fight interview. That will please them (and hopefully generate some sales).
