The referee sends both fighters to their corners and Escobar has 5 minutes to recover. He's OK now though... a thumbs up from Escobar and we're back underway with a touch of gloves.

Escobar is working actively from the bottom, looking for submissions. He's escaped his hips to the side and he's going for an armbar! Downs has his hands clasped together but Escobar extends and breaks Downs's desperate grasp, forcing a tap out due to armbar! Nice BJJ displayed there by Escobar.
