Culibao vs Baghdasaryan – Round 2
Culibao told his corner between rounds that he could not breathe. He had three more minutes of permitted recovery time after receiving that low blow – time he probably should have used.
Now, early in the second round, there’s an accidental clash of heads, but the fighters just keep going.
Culibao lands a counter left hand, and Baghdasaryan stumbles to the mat! Culibao pounces as the Armenian falls, taking the back at once and locking in a rear naked choke!
It’s in tight, and Baghdasaryan taps! Culibao gets the submission win – the first of his pro MMA career!

And late in the round, Baghdasaryan connects with Culibao’s groin with a spinning back kick! Ouch. Baghdasaryan wags his finger as Culibao hits the mat, suggesting it was not a low blow.
It was accidental, but it was low, as the broadcast team tell Baghdasaryan through the fence.
Culibao is just taking some time to recover, as is permitted.
