Cup slows the pace down here. Having a little breather whilst he's in a dominant position, looking to rest and regain some energy, ready to go for the finish.
Cup is working for the choke. He's slipped one arm under the chin. Kennedy has to defend the other arm for all he's worth... but Cup has managed to get that arm free too and he's tightening the choke! Kennedy taps out and looks absolutely disgusted with himself. Cup doesn't care though - he's delighted!

Red Cup decided to thank the fans in attendance for making a great atmosphere. It seemed to go down pretty well. |
