Fantastic stuff here - a very entertaining period of action, which has drawn cheers from the crowd.
Andersson fails with the takedown
and Kuzma counters with a crisp right that sends Andersson to the canvas! Kuzma follows up with punches from the mount and this one is all over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:46 of round 2, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Kyle Kuzma!
A relieved looking Kyle Kuzma thanked the fans for their support and gave the usual line about them being amazing. They seemed to believe that he actually meant it.
