Puma has hold of Petrov's arm. He's looking for a kimura. Petrov seems comfortable defending it but Puma has shifted his position slighty and is cranking on the arm! Petrov is real pain and he's forced to tap out! Petrov is disgusted with himself for not defending it better but Puma couldn't care less - he's delighted!
