Gomes advances nicely into full mount.
Gomes is thinking about an arm triangle here, looking to tighten it up before moving to side control. Cricky can see it coming though and defends well with a couple of strikes to the head and some good arm positioning.
Gomes is dominating on the ground here - he's now on his opponent's back, looking to sink in the hooks. Cricky is in real trouble.
The fighters are pressed up against the cage, both looking to find a bit of space to work.
Gomes is working for the choke. It looks like he might have got it... has he...? Yes! Cricky is tapping out! This one is all over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:56 of round 2, we have a winner by way of Submission (RNC). David Gomes!
During a confident post fight interview, David Gomes thanked all his fans. He seemed very genuine when describing how motivated his fans keep him.
