Bender looking for submissions from the bottom here. Moving his hips around, possibly looking for an armbar.
Wilkerson sitting in guard, not really doing much. #T2#
Wilkerson's ground tactics aren't going to win him many fans. Let's hope he's got fireworks for us if he gets back to his feet because he's not doing much on the ground.#SUB2#
Bender throwing his legs up looking for a triangle.
Bender is looking to sweep but instead, Wilkerson has passed into half guard.
#SUB#
Wilkerson is working for a submission here. He's got hold of the far side arm and he's looking for a kimura. He's cranking on the arm and he's got it! Bender is tapping out! Ouch, that looked like it hurt!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:56 of round 2, we have a winner by way of Submission (Kimura). Valentino Wilkerson! |
