Montoya could do with losing a few pounds - he looks very soft around the mid section, to put it politely.

Best drops back for a leg here. A bit of a high risk move... He's looking for a kneebar by the looks of things. Now both of them are looking for submissions. Best seems to have locked his on tight now - Montoya screams in pain and taps out furiously! It certainly was a high risk move but it's paid off for Best, as he picks up the win!
