Greycie wants to escape the position.
Greycie turns into Williams and is now in his guard.
Greycie drops back looking for a submission - "I'm sorry sir, but I'm gunna break your leg" says Greycie as he cranks on the unfortunate limb! Williams screams and taps out before any major damage is done! Don't mess with Greycie! Nice submission victory there!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:03 of round 2, we have a winner by way of Submission (Kneebar). Hoyce Greycie!
