Barbarosa is rocked!
The fighters are pressed up against the cage, both looking to find a bit of space to work.
The two fighters exchange a few words. I couldn't hear what they were saying but maybe it's more fun if you make it up yourself. Bryant connects with a nice short shot to Barbarosa's temple.
Barbarosa is still in real trouble! Can Bryant finish him?
Bryant landing with strikes to the body and head, softening up his opponent.
Bryant scores with a big shot! Barbarosa's head bounced off the canvas with a huge thud! More strikes land and the referee has jumped in to save Barbarosa! He was hurt real bad - good stoppage!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:57 of round 2, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Elijah Bryant!
