Randolph is controlling this nicely and is looking to make no mistakes. Grant is trying to wiggle out of this horrible position. Grant flips to his side and attempts to get a leg in for half guard. Randolph anticipates the leg and manages to get behind Grant and secures both hooks! This could be bad! Randolph slips an arm under Grant chin and tries to position for a rear naked choke. Randolph has worked the choke in now and it looks tight. Randolph is squeezing on Grant like an anaconda would it's prey. Grant fails to tap and has fallen unconscious! We've got ourselves a winner by way of a rear naked choke!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:57 of round 2, we have a winner by way of Submission (RNC). Tommy Randolph!
Tommy Randolph spent the whole post fight interview bigging himself up. It didn't go down that well with the fans after a while as they thought it was a bit arrogant.
