The fans in attendance giving it up for the two fighters, who have really let it all hang out in the last minute or so!
Nbaku takes an elbow to the forehead. #ROC#Nbaku is rocked!
The fighters are playing wrist control here with Nbaku pressed against the cage. Adams frees himself up and cracks Nbaku with an uppercut straight from the bowels of hell! Nbaku crumples to the floor, out cold! Adams jumps on to the cage and takes in the roar of the crowd! That was nasty!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:56 of round 2, we have a winner by way of KO (Punch). Smash Adams!
Smash Adams seemed lost for words in his post fight interview but he remembered to thank his fans and directed everyone to his website.
