Dave Baron vs Jim Miller is up next.
Miller catches a kick and takes Baron down, getting to half mount in the process. Miller goes high and tries unsuccessfully for an Americana. Baron keep scissoring his right leg and keeps Miller from passing. Baron tries to reverse him and gets put first into a rear naked choke and then an arm triangle for his troubles. Miller lets go and goes for the choke again after Baron turns. Good submission defense by Baron so far. After a brief flurry on their feet, Miller has his back again and both hooks in. 30 seconds to go. Body triangle by Miller. He gets the choke with ten seconds to go, and that was the end of the round. Miller's round 10-9.
They stand to begin the second round and Miller gets a takedown. After they get back to their feet, Baron hits Miller with a big right and they trade guillotine attempts, unsuccessfully. Baron is back on his derrière with Miller in half guard. Miller just can't seem to get his foot free and pass. Now he has with 1:50 to go in the round. Miller tries to maneuver his way back into a choke but isn't getting it properly. Crowd is dead quiet. Baron is cut somehow. Now Miller is on his back going for a weird sort of triangle and then another head-and-arm choke, but this time from the guard. Round ends. Miller 10-9. Not the most exciting fight in the world so far.  |
