Fff has been the more effective fighter overall so far.
Joe struggling a bit here.
Fff tries to get to his feet but he's trapped momentarily. #SUB2#
Joe wants to improve his position, back to half guard but Fff has ideas of his own. He's got hold of Joe's far side arm and it looks like he's got an Americana. Ohh! Ohhhh! OOOOOOOOOH! A human being's arm is not meant to bend like that! Joe is tapping like a morse code operator on the Titanic! SOS SOS! He's out of here! Great win for Fff!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:56 of round 2, we have a winner by way of Submission (Americana). Aaa Fff! |
