Ground and pound from Voges. #T1#
Nice strikes from Voges there.
Voges is looking to take a break and control but Drive is keeping him honest, looking to work from the bottom. #SUB2#
Voges has hold of the far side arm. He's working for the Kimura, can Drive defend it? Voges steps over the head and cranks it - Drive is tapping out! That was textbook stuff right there - nice submission victory for Voges!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:16 of round 2, we have a winner by way of Submission (Kimura). Streicher Voges!
Streicher Voges thanked the fans post fight for their support.
