Brooks misses with a lunging right hand
and Stick counters with a single leg into guard. Brooks didn't expect that.
Brooks is active off his back here, looking for submissions.
Stick is really dominating this fight. Is there anything that Brooks can do to turn this around?
Stick is sitting in close to Brooks's body. Brooks has gone for a guillotine from the bottom. Oh damn, that looks pretty tight! Stick is panicking - it looks like this one could be all over! Yes, Stick is tapping! That was a very nice submission by Brooks.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:26 of round 2, we have a winner by way of Submission (Guillotine). Calvin Brooks!
Calvin Brooks gave a mention to Vikai Gear in his post fight interview. That will please them (and hopefully generate some sales).
