Blood trickled down the side of Saunders’ face. “Killa B” was dropped once again. Sobotta rained down some ground-and-pound, but was tied up. Saunders dropped some elbows, while threatening with a submission attempt. The horn sounded.
The second round began and Saunders wanted to find his range after getting dropped twice the previous round. A jab found the mark for Saunders. Sobotta caught the leg and rocked Saunders with a shot. “Killa B” was on wobbly legs. He buckled his opponent and put him away with a knee.
Once the adrenaline wore off, Sobotta tended to a hand injury. He told Dan Hardy that he broke his hand in the second round.
