Kennedy tries to lock up and control but Henoi gives him a forearm to the face and pushes him away.
Henoi is controlling this nicely and is looking to make no mistakes. Kennedy is trying to wiggle out of this horrible position. Kennedy flips to his side and attempts to get a leg in for half guard. Henoi anticipates the leg and manages to get behind Kennedy and secures both hooks! This could be bad! Henoi slips an arm under Kennedy chin and tries to position for a rear naked choke. Henoi has worked the choke in now and it looks tight. Henoi is squeezing on Kennedy like an anaconda would it's prey. Kennedy fails to tap and has fallen unconscious! We've got ourselves a winner by way of a rear naked choke!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:04 of round 2, we have a winner by way of Submission (RNC). Flo Henoi!
