Round 2: After a brief stand-up exchange, Johnson shoots in and gets the double-leg. Torres again works the active guard, rolling for an arm and forcing Johnson to go to his back to defend. Torres can't capitalize on the position before Johnson reclaims top position. Torres nearly locks up a triangle choke from an odd angle, but Johnson stays calm and stays on top. Johnson seems to be controlling the fight, but it's Torres who's taking all the chances and engaging in all the offensive attempts. Johnson's efforts seem entirely devoted to staying on top and keeping Torres down. That's still what he's focused on as the round winds down, making this a tough one to score

Round 3: Johnson opens up with a big, looping right hand that surprises Torres, then follows with a single-leg. Johnson succeeds in getting Torres down, but Torres immediately grabs for an armbar. Johnson defends and stays on top. He's been successful passing Torres' guard a few times, but can't do much with it. Torres rolls and gives up his back, but ends up going back to guard. Torres pulls off a nice sweep to land on top, but Johnson replaces guard and makes it difficult for Torres to get much offense started. Torres grabs a guillotine and it looks close for a second, but Johnson slips out. Johnson explodes with a striking flurry in the final minute, landing a couple nice knees and coming up short with a Superman punch. Torres tries one more guillotine before the final horn, but nothing doing.
