Krabutov slips a foot under and gets full guard. Nice work.
Andersson postures up. #SUB2#
Krabutov looking for a triangle here. Andersson is fighting it but it looks tight! Krabutov pulls the arm across and this one won't last much longer! Nope, Andersson is tapping out - this one is all over!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:57 of round 2, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle Choke). Aslan Krabutov!
