dela Rosa looking for a kimura but he'll have to free his other leg if he wants to finish that. Perhaps he's just using it as a distraction technique.

Mexes has hold of a guillotine but he's not going to be able to crank on it really with only half guard, so it's no trouble for dela Rosa. Oh but Mexes has got full guard now! Oh boy!
