He's hopped off into side control, looking to tighten the submission... is it going to work? He's given up a good position looking for it. Williams looks OK. Oh, I spoke too soon, he's out! That must have been tighter than I thought! Excellent work there by Meningitis! Submission of the night perhaps?
