Excellent takedown into side control there by Humphries.

We could do with one of the fighters taking the initiative a bit more on the ground - they're both waiting to capitalize on a mistake.

Humphries is working to tighten his grip on King's neck. He's isolated an arm and is working for an arm triangle. King has recognised the danger and is trying to turn with the submission but Humphries is really squeezing tight and eventually King passes out! Humphries breaks the hold and jumps onto the cage to celebrate! Submission of the night, I'd say!
