Pramuk is not a happy chappy… he wants out of there.

John Mauer has got the better of the ground game so far.
Mauer lands a heavy elbow. #ROC2#
Pramuk is rocked!
Mauer postures up and throws a couple of big shots that have Pramuk in real trouble here! The ref calls for Pramuk to improve his position which he doesn't do, so the referee has no choice but to end the fight due to the strikes!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:46 of round 2, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). John Mauer!
