Blankenship is sitting in close to Diaz's body. Diaz has gone for a guillotine from the bottom. Oh damn, that looks pretty tight! Blankenship is panicking - it looks like this one could be all over! Yes, Blankenship is tapping! That was a very nice submission by Diaz.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:50 of round 2, we have a winner by way of Submission (Guillotine). Tony Diaz!
Tony Diaz spent the whole post fight interview bigging himself up. It didn't go down that well with the fans after a while as they thought it was a bit arrogant.
