Helwani lands a nice shot that snaps Oliviera's head back.
Dana Helwani seems to be the more aggressive standup fighter in this bout.#TD#
Oliviera dives in and scores a takedown into Helwani's guard.#SUB2#
Helwani working from the bottom, still in full guard. He's managed to get a loose triangle. Oliviera doesn't seem to be doing much to defend here, obviously he feels comfortable in the position. Oh but Helwani is tightening it up a little... Oliviera has to be careful here... He's got his foot tucked under now, this looks tight! Oliviera reacted too slowly and this one could be over in a matter of seconds! YES! Oliviera taps out! Nice BJJ there by Helwani!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:38 of round 2, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle Choke). Dana Helwani! |
