Round 2: Barzola gets a little out of control and Yahya takes advantage, earning another takedown and with over four minutes to work a submission. Just a completely grinding effort on the ground by Yahya to dominate and wear out Barzola. Even if he survives these final 90 seconds, he might be too exhausted to do much.

Just as that happens, though, Barzola slips free and earns his own takedown. Yahya rolls, but pulls guard with a minute remaining and into half-guard. They finish on the feet with Barzola getting the better of that exchange.
