Cane is working to tighten is grip on Lawson's neck. He's isolated an arm and is working for an arm triangle. Lawson has recognised the danger and is trying to turn with the submission but Cane is really squeezing tight and eventually Lawson passes out! Cane breaks the hold and jumps onto the cage to celebrate! Submission of the night, I'd say!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:19 of round 2, we have a winner by way of Submission (Arm Triangle). Louis Cane!
Louis Cane is the new heavyweight champion!
