Nice move. #REVR##T1##SUB2# Lune looking for submissions from an awkward position here.#SUB# Papadorigagi is trying to work for a kimura but Lune is defending well.
Both fighters are absolutely exhausted here. Papadorigagi content to sit in half guard and control for a moment. Lune wants to control but Papadorigagi is keeping busy and won't allow it. #T2# Neither fighter has done anything of merit for a good minute or two here and the crowd are not happy about it. Papadorigagi throwing shots but they're hitting the canvas more than the man. #SUB2# Lune looking to work for a kimura from the bottom.#SUB2# Lune is working on a guillotine. He's managed to get to full guard and he's really squeezing tight! Papadorigagi is tapping! Great win for Lune!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:25 of round 2, we have a winner by way of Submission (Guillotine). Cutter Lune! |
