End of round one:
Whittaker stayed active on the ground against Hall. Whittaker ended up taking Hall’s back but couldn’t capitalize on the position. Hall spun it around and got in the top position at the end of the round.
A strong round for Whittaker.
Half way through round two:
Both fighters come out aggressive early in the round. Whittaker had Hall against the cage and performed some foot stomps. The fight was on hold due to an “eye poke” from Whittaker but it was a closed fist strike. Ref starts the fight pretty quickly though it broke the momentum of Whittaker.
