Suarez is controlling this nicely and is looking to make no mistakes. Wood is trying to wiggle out of this horrible position. Wood flips to his side and attempts to get a leg in for half guard. Suarez anticipates the leg and manages to get behind Wood and secures both hooks! This could be bad! Suarez slips an arm under Wood chin and tries to position for a rear naked choke. Suarez has worked the choke in now and it looks tight. Suarez is squeezing on Wood like an anaconda would it's prey. Wood fails to tap and has fallen unconscious! We've got ourselves a winner by way of a rear naked choke!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:25 of round 2, we have a winner by way of Submission (RNC). Angel Suarez!
Angel Suarez is the new welterweight champion!
