Minh on the wrong end of some ground and pound.
Minh manages to land a sweep and he's now on top! Lovely Jiu Jitsu!
Whitaker wants to improve his position but Minh is controlling well.
The fighters are battling for position here. Whitaker manages to regain full guard. Nice work.
Minh wanted to stand there but Whitaker had control of the position. #SUB#
Whitaker has his feet on Minh's thighs here. He's pushed Minh off and worked for a very quick armbar from the bottom! He's flipped onto his stomach and he's cranking hard on the arm! Minh screams in pain and taps out! This one is all over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:56 of round 2, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). Marion Whitaker!
