Jones being controlled for a moment.
Jones looks more muscular than last time we saw him. He must have been on the weights.

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