Saarinen performing his best blanket impression for a moment.
Saarinen looks towards his corner to check for any instructions. The corner give him nothing to work with, so he cracks Tyrmaaja with a short hammerfist. I guess that's as good as any advice he could get in this position.

Saarinen seems like he's working for an arm triangle here. He's freed his trapped foot and he's rotating nicely. Tyrmaaja is in big trouble! He's tapping out! This one is aaaaaaaaaaaall over!
