Former WWE superstar Jack Swagger took on T.J Jones in a heavyweight clash that saw the 6-foot-7 Swagger completely ragdoll his opponent. In the opening seconds of round 1, Swagger throws few jabs and scores a takedown. He then follows up with an Americana attempt, but TJ Jones successfully manages to escape the submission. But his escape doesn’t last long as Swagger manages to get a hold of Jones in an arm triangle, which results in Jones taping out immediately.
