Ladies and gentlemen. This fight is 3 rounds, in the middleweight division. Introducing the fighter to my left, fighting out of the red corner. With a record of
0 - 0 - 0, fighting out of New York, Michael Isa! And introducing the fighter to my right, fighting out of the blue corner. With a record of
1 - 0 - 0, fighting out of New York, John Lawlor! The judges for this bout are Jorge Garcia, Steve Montenegro and John Roberts.
The bell rings for round one and we are underway! Lawlor fakes high and shoots in for a takedown but Isa avoids it really well and circles away. Isa falls off balance throwing a combination
and Lawlor counters with a takedown into side control. We've had a lack of effective grappling in the last minute or so, which could well see a referee standup. Lawlor misses with the ground and pound. Isa is trying to stand back up. He's worked his way up against the cage but Lawlor has just dragged him back down to the mat. Lawlor cracks Isa with a big right hand but Isa just smiles back at him and invites him to have another go.
Isa on his back here. We all know that wrestlers don't like being on their back so let's see if Isa tries to get out of the position. Lawlor postures up a little and throws a couple of hammerfists but they don't connect properly.
Isa tries to escape but Lawlor is in control. The ref warns both fighters not to hold the cage as they work up against the meshing. Lawlor has an Americana. Isa didn't react quickly enough there and he's in big trouble now! He tries to squirm out but is forced to tap! Lawlor is delighted and gyrates in front of the ring girls. They seem to like the attention - it'll be interesting to see if Lawlor hooks up with any of them at the after show party.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:45 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Americana). John Lawlor! Michael Isa was interviewed post fight and said 'John Lawler is good on the ground. I knew he would want to take the fight to the ground, and I wanted a stand up fight. I'm still training, I am ready for my next outing.'.
