Marfaker can't keep his opponent in guard - Declan advances to half guard, no doubt looking to mount.
Declan is looking for a kimura but Marfaker is holding onto that half guard position, so it's hard for Declan to get the leverage.
Boooooooooooooooooooo!!! God, this has been a terrible round. Come on you two, sort yourselves out!
Declan is pressing down on Marfaker's thigh, looking to free his foot. Marfaker is holding on for now.
Marfaker regains full guard. Nicely done.
And that's the end of the fight!
Marfaker wins on points by 19 to 10.
An out of breath and clearly excited Juan Marfaker thanked FORCEE for their help and support (and free stuff they sent him). |
