Nick fought WAY up in weight and age for this one against a much larger opponent (at least 40 lbs heavier than Nick) who said Nick was "too small for him to fight" - Nick showed him a few things! Not much got scored during this 2nd round, but Nick had won the previous round by a wide margin with mount and back mount position. Nick is coached in this match by Rhalan Gracie, son of Relson Gracie. At the conclusion of this match, Rhalan shouted out "And THAT is Relson Gracie Jiu-Jitsu!"
Nick, we know you like bigger opponents but gee wiz this kid is a big hunk to take on. You did well anyhow, your speed works for you.

The big kid actually won his division before Nick fought him. They had no one Nick's size and weren't going to let him fight, but Nick wanted to compete so they (reluctantly) let him. This round was kind of slow, as Nick just wanted to hold onto his big lead from round one, but round one had the crowd really going! A classic David vs. Goliath match.
