Kealekapuna is defending well here and trying to improve his position.
Starksson has got one arm under Kealekapuna's chin. This could be trouble... Kealekapuna trying to control the other hand but Starksson gets it free and sqeezes tight - just a matter of time now! Yep, Kealekapuna has tapped out! The fight is over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:58 of round 2, we have a winner by way of Submission (RNC). Stalin Starksson!
Stalin Starksson is the new light heavyweight champion!
Our winner, Stalin Starksson, made sure he spent some time buttering up the crowd during his post fight interview, which will no doubt bring him a few more fans.
