Moore is in a world of trouble here. He's outmatched on the ground here and he'd better get Gracie off his back sharpish unless he wants to be submitted.

Gracie is working for the choke. I would put my money on him to finish from this position. He's rolled onto his back and has dragged Moore with him. Moore is trying to defend but Gracie has an arm under the chin now! Moore grimaces and is forced to tap out!
