Nice takedown defense from Resnar. No joy for Gregory on that attempt. Resnar ducks right into an uppercut from Gregory. #TD2# Resnar shoots in and scores a nice double leg takedown into half guard. Gregory is looking to get back to is feet but Resnar passes into side control.
Wooooo! Give it up for these two warriors! They are putting on a show! Gregory is looking to get back to his feet here but Resnar is keeping cool and he's managed to take Gregory's back.
And that's the end of the fight! That was a close round. You could make an argument for either fighter but I would give it to Mark Gregory. I think Gregory has won this one but let's see what the judges have to say. Over to the ring announcer for the scorecards.
