#SUB#
Franks has managed to work for a loose triangle. I think Woodfist should be able to defend this one pretty easily though. Oh, Franks has tightened it up now! Woodfist should have reacted faster there - he's in big trouble and yes, he's tapped out! This one is all over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:49 of round 2, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle). Morton Franks!
