Rossengiar is really stuck here.
A bit of a pause in the action here. Wahgwan controlling the positon.#SUB2#
Wahgwan is working for a rear naked choke. Rossengiar is not defending it well and Wahgwan has tightened it up quickly! This could be all over! Rossengiar refuses to tap and goes to sleep, forcing the referee to intervene. A little trickle of blood came out of Rossengiar's nose as his head slumped to the floor. That is naaaasty!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:58 of round 2, we have a winner by way of Submission (RNC). Frank Wahgwan !
A victorious Frank Wahgwan thanked his army of followers in his post fight interview, telling people to make sure they follow him on Twitter.
