Santos shoots in and scores a nice double leg takedown into half guard.#SUB2#
Santos has hold of the far side arm. He's working for the Kimura, can Mendoza defend it? Santos steps over the head and cranks it - Mendoza is tapping out! That was textbook stuff right there - nice submission victory for Santos!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:43 of round 2, we have a winner by way of Submission (Kimura). Ricky Santos!
Ricky Santos decided to hype himself up post fight. It was going well but he went on about it a bit too long and the crowd turned on him a little. |
