Volkonof has an Americana. Golovka didn't react quickly enough there and he's in big trouble now! He tries to squirm out but is forced to tap! Volkonof is delighted and gyrates in front of the ring girls. They seem to like the attention - it'll be interesting to see if Volkonof hooks up with any of them at the after show party.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:58 of round 2, we have a winner by way of Submission (Americana). Boris Volkonof!
