Mokami regains full guard. Nicely done.
Mokami is trying to control the position but Groza postures up.
Mokami has an omoplata and is looking to use it perhaps as a submission or perhaps to transition. Groza is in a bit of discomfort here, but he's managed to free himself and has dived into side control! That didn't work out too well for Mokami. Score +3 for passing guard: Mokami (9) vs (22) Groza
Groza controls the position from side control.
Boooooooooooooooooooo!!! God, this has been a terrible round. Come on you two, sort yourselves out!
And that's the end of the fight!
Groza wins on points by 22 to 9.
Vincent Groza took to the microphone after his victory and thanked his sponsors, Sully's Bar & Grill for their support in the buildup to the fight. |
