We've had a slow start to the round here - hopefully the action picks up.
Anguissa covers up after that shot from Welch.
Anguissa tries to escape but Welch has the hooks in and won't let him break free. #SUB#
Anguissa won't enjoy being in this position. Welch looking for the choke. Oh... he's slipped the arm under the neck - Anguissa is tapping - it's over boys! Welch picks up the submission victory!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:18 of round 2, we have a winner by way of Submission (RNC). Roman Welch! |
