Bodog Fight middleweight: Amar Suloev vs. Chael Sonnen

Chael Sonnen controls the first round on the ground and wins the round easily in my opinion.  He attempted a rear naked choke as well as an Americana.  Both came perilously close to ending the fight.  Sonnen was also effective with his ground-and-pound.

Sonnen ends the fight in the second round with a ground-and-pound assault on Suloev's head from side control.  Sonnen pinned both of Suloev's arms to render Suloev defenseless.  Sonnen had controlled the round and the match up to that point, working almost exclusively on the ground.

This was a very impressive, dominating victory by Sonnen.

Official result: Chael Sonnen wins at 3:33 of second round by TKO.

Interesting side note: Bodog Fight had technical difficulties during the introductions for this fight.  So they are re-filming just the ring announcer intros.
