Moraes working from the bottom, still in full guard. He's managed to get a loose triangle. Dossevi doesn't seem to be doing much to defend here, obviously he feels comfortable in the position. Oh but Moraes is tightening it up a little... Dossevi has to be careful here... He's got his foot tucked under now, this looks tight!
