Disms digs a right hand into Sanders's ribs. Those have got to be taking their toll on Sanders's gas tank.
Disms lands a right hand.
Disms has Sanders pressed up against the cage in a tight Thai clinch. Sanders is arching his back, trying to avoid the knees but a big one sneaks through from Disms - that's hurt Sanders badly! Oh, another knee lands and Sanders is covering up! The referee steps in to save him - possibly a bit early but Sanders doesn't seem to be complaining.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:25 of round 2, we have a winner by way of TKO (Knees). Ninnerd Disms!
