Kincaid has managed to work for a loose triangle. I think Hotspot should be able to defend this one pretty easily though. Oh, Kincaid has tightened it up now! Hotspot 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 4:36 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle). Arthur Kincaid!
Arthur Kincaid seemed lost for words in his post fight interview but he remembered to thank his fans and directed everyone to his website. |
