Mccullough looking to control the pace of the fight rather than finish it. #REF3#
The referee decides to stand the fighters back up.#TD#
Kline shoots in for a takedown from distance. He catches Mccullough napping and manages to drive through into side control!
A lull in the action here as Kline stalls from top position.#T3##SUB#
Mccullough wants to improve his position, back to half guard but Kline has ideas of his own. He's got hold of Mccullough's far side arm and it looks like he's got an Americana. Ohh! Ohhhh! OOOOOOOOOH! A human being's arm is not meant to bend like that! Mccullough is tapping like a morse code operator on the Titanic! SOS SOS! He's out of here! Great win for Kline!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:24 of round 2, we have a winner by way of Submission (Americana). Rhett Kline! |
