Khasan Abdurakhman has got the better of the ground game so far.#SUB2#
Chimaev is sitting in close to Abdurakhman's body. Abdurakhman has gone for a guillotine from the bottom. Oh damn, that looks pretty tight! Chimaev is panicking - it looks like this one could be all over! Yes, Chimaev is tapping! That was a very nice submission by Abdurakhman.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:53 of round 2, we have a winner by way of Submission (Guillotine). Khasan Abdurakhman!
