Mcgee stands up and looks to throw the legs aside to pass to side control. Quinn swivels though and keeps the full guard. #SUB2# Quinn pushes a forearm under Mcgee's chin to create some space. He's escaped his hips and pivoted quickly for an armbar! Can he extend the arm? Yes, Mcgee is tapping out! Damn, that was fast!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:43 of round 2, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). Cade Quinn! Cade Quinn was full of energy after the big win and talked about how he thinks he can do big things in this sport. The crowd were appreciative of his determination to succeed. |
