Ladiang with a flurry of punches that miss.
Owens looking to sweep here. No luck so far. #SUB#
Owens working for a triangle but Ladiang defends it easily.
Ladiang is working Owens over from the guard. He should look to pass the guard and do a little more damage with these strikes.
The crowd thankful this round is nearly over.#SUB#
Ladiang stands up over his opponent, looking to dive in with a big punch. Here he comes, superman style! Oh, the punch misses and Owens has got him in a triangle choke for good measure! Oh no! Ladiang manages to get his head free but now Owens has transitioned to an armbar! Ladiang grimaces and is forced to tap! Beautiful Jiu Jitsu from Owens! I'd be surprised if that didn't end up as submission of the night!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:59 of round 2, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). Carol Owens!
