Boooooooooooooooooooo!!! God, this has been a terrible round. Come on you two, sort yourselves out!
Chai just content to control the position. #SUB2#
Chai tries for an arm triangle. That looks pretty tight to me. Is this one over!?! Possibly, maybe, no Chai has let go of the choke. Obviously it wasn't as tight as we thought!
And that's the end of the fight!
Chai wins on points by 7 to 2.
Leonardinho Chai seemed lost for words in his post fight interview but he remembered to thank his fans and directed everyone to his website. |
