Mauler gets control of Ballerina's arms and successfully pulls guard. Mauler will no doubt be looking for submissions off his back.#T1##SUB#
Mauler is working for submissions here. He's thrown up his legs looking for a triangle but Ballerina frees his head nicely. Oh but Mauler has switched to an armbar! Ballerina is tapping furiously! Lovely submission there!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:20 of round 2, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle Armbar). Rose Mauler!
