Toda scores with punches from side control. #SUB#
Toda has hold of Fox's arm. He's looking for a kimura. Fox seems comfortable defending it but Toda has shifted his position slighty and is cranking on the arm! Fox is real pain and he's forced to tap out! Fox is disgusted with himself for not defending it better but Toda couldn't care less - he's delighted!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:57 of round 2, we have a winner by way of Submission (Kimura). Makoto Toda!
