That has opened up Ryan Riggs's cut even more.
Riggs is really stuck here.
Ritter lands with a hammerfist to the side of Riggs's head.
Riggs is rocked!
The cut above Ryan Riggs's eye is starting to cause him problems now.
That's three minutes gone in the round.
The crowd hopeful of a finish here - Ritter's supporters are on their feet, screaming for him to go for the rear naked choke.
Riggs is still in real trouble! Can Ritter finish him?
Ritter is working for the choke. I would put my money on him to finish from this position. He's rolled onto his back and has dragged Riggs with him. Riggs is trying to defend but Ritter has an arm under the chin now! Riggs grimaces and is forced to tap out!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:21 of round 2, we have a winner by way of Submission (RNC). Sylvester Ritter!
An out of breath and clearly excited Sylvester Ritter thanked Sin City Allstars for their help and support (and free stuff they sent him).
