Wooooo! Give it up for these two warriors! They are putting on a show!

Statham has his foot on Wolfe's thigh. He's trying to push off and get in position for a triangle, I think. Wolfe works his way back into a safe position though.

Wolfe is trying to tuck his arms in to keep them safe but Statham has managed to isolate one of them and has got a loose triangle.
