Reincarneited thows a huge punch but Herbstreit dodges it nicely.
Reincarneited working over Herbstreit with some ground and pound. Herbstreit looks like he wants out of this position, which is understandable.
Reincarneited has hold of the far side arm. He's working for the Kimura, can Herbstreit defend it? Reincarneited steps over the head and cranks it - Herbstreit is tapping out! That was textbook stuff right there - nice submission victory for Reincarneited!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:46 of round 2, we have a winner by way of Submission (Kimura). Helio Reincarneited!
