Gunderson shoots in for a takedown right away but Schultz defends well. They clinch against the ropes and Schultz uses a body lock to put Gunderson on his back. The bulk of the round is spent here as Schultz attempts to ground and pound from the half-guard, but Gunderson does a competent job defending.

Gunderson uses a right hand to transition into a takedown, scooping Schultz up and putting him on his back. Schultz attempts a guillotine from the guard and it looks tight for a moment, but Gunderson works free. As Gunderson attempts to get up Schultz gains top position, but is again unable to do any meaningful damage before the round ends.

Round 3

This one starts with both men exchanging punches. Gunderson lands a couple nice blows and Schultz responds before shooting in for a big slam. Schultz goes right back to work from the top position, holding Gunderson down and grinding methodically away at him. Gunderson needs to find an answer to this attack soon or he risks ending up on the wrong side of a decision.

Round 4

Schultz appears to be the fresher fighter to start this round, but Gunderson is stalking him and looking for his range with a few probing punches. A hard right lands solidly for Schultz. Gunderson takes it and responds with a nice left hook of his own. Gunderson looks for a single leg and puts Schultz down. Once on the mat though it's all he can do to hold Schultz down, and he's unable to do much damage from the top.

With less than twenty seconds left in the round, they get back to their feet and Gunderson stings Schultz with a punch and a knee before the bell. We head into the final frame for this championship bout.

[rarrbear]

i don't think the guy would "submit" in a bar fight, he'd just get his arm broken. actually what would probably happen is while the guy is trying to apply an arm bar, the other guy's 10 buddies come in and pound the crap outta him. grappling is best for 1 on 1, but in a bar you can't arm bar 10 pple at once. lol

[rgyersyhes]

Fucking gay arm bar OH gee that looks real good in a bar fight, the guy is pounding the fuck out of you then you use an arm bar and he submits big fucking deal. Reminds me of getting in a fight and twisting someone ankle OK I give. I would rather see all out brawling.
