Torrent controlling from mount.
Oh Wallace is still in real trouble! Will he be able to recover?!!
Torrent putting on the heat here with some good ground and pound!
Torrent has the superior BJJ but he's also working some ground strikes into his gameplan.
Oooooh, big shot lands for Torrent! Wallace is hurt baaadly! Torrent is firing away with more strikes - Wallace is covering up... the ref is warning him to do something. He's just covering up though still and the ref has to step in to end the fight! This one is all over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:38 of round 2, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Paul Torrent!
