This tournament finals are on as Huntington Beach native Brandon Halsey takes on Long Beach’s Brett Cooper for the chance to face the champion Alexander Shlemenko!
Cooper sporting a Grizzle Adams’ style beard is is taken down with a double leg by Halsey who takes control with a side mount and drops a couple of right elbows transitioning into an arm-bar attempt. Cooper fights it off as long as he can, but Halsey gets the arm-bar forcing cooper to rotate to his stomach.
Halsey remained persistent capturing the arm-bar submission and moves on to face the middleweight champion!
