Bearson might be looking to lock onto one of his opponent's long limbs for a submission, whilst we're on the ground.#T2#
Neither fighter has done anything of merit for a good minute or two here and the crowd are not happy about it.#SUB2#
Bearson is sitting in close to Hernandez's body. Hernandez has gone for a guillotine from the bottom. Oh damn, that looks pretty tight! Bearson is panicking - it looks like this one could be all over! Yes, Bearson is tapping! That was a very nice submission by Hernandez.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:26 of round 2, we have a winner by way of Submission (Guillotine). Leandro Hernandez! |
