Oh Nnamdi is still all over the place! His legs are completely gone! Will he be able to recover?!!
Androula scores with a hook to the body.
Androula has Nnamdi pressed up against the cage in a tight Thai clinch. Nnamdi is arching his back, trying to avoid the knees but a big one sneaks through from Androula - that's hurt Nnamdi badly! Oh, another knee lands and Nnamdi is covering up! The referee steps in to save him - possibly a bit early but Nnamdi doesn't seem to be complaining.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:32 of round 2, we have a winner by way of TKO (Knees). Markus Androula!
In defeat, JoJo Nnamdi stepped up to the mic, saying 'You suck, lets see if you try to run from fighting me agiain'.
