Flopples taking some punishment here, with Joseph in his half guard.
Joseph wants to take a breather but Flopples is having none of it. #SUB#
Joseph has hold of the far side arm. He's working for the Kimura, can Flopples defend it? Joseph steps over the head and cranks it - Flopples is tapping out! That was textbook stuff right there - nice submission victory for Joseph!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:37 of round 2, we have a winner by way of Submission (Kimura). Julio Joseph!
