Roop closed out the first five minutes in Kimura&#8217;s guard and locked up the round while Kimura did the same in round two.

Roop pressed his chest to Kimura&#8217;s for a couple minutes and softened him up with elbows to the body and head before transitioning to half guard with a minute left in the fight. Roop stayed active enough to not get stood up but he spent the entire round on the ground after landing that first takedown.<\/p>\n<p>George Roop picked up the decision victory and improved his professional record to 15-10.<\/p>\n<p><strong>George Roop def.
