Maia is controlling this nicely and is looking to make no mistakes. Halliwell is trying to wiggle out of this horrible position. Halliwell flips to his side and attempts to get a leg in for half guard. Maia anticipates the leg and manages to get behind Halliwell and secures both hooks! This could be bad! Maia slips an arm under Halliwell chin and tries to position for a rear naked choke. Maia has worked the choke in now and it looks tight. Maia is squeezing on Halliwell like an anaconda would it's prey. Halliwell fails to tap and has fallen unconscious! We've got ourselves a winner by way of a rear naked choke!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:24 of round 2, we have a winner by way of Submission (RNC). D Maia!

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jake VanVactor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Anton Wasa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). VanVactor comes to the cage accompanied by Like a Pimp by David Banner. Wasa has chosen UK Subs - Warhead as his entrance music. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Anton Wasa was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
