Both fighters really going for it on the ground here!
Artukovic throws a big right hand that misses.
Lata wants to stand and escape. He's got his foot on Artukovic's hips, looking to push off. But Artukovic grabs a hold of the leg and drops back for an ankle lock! It's hard to tell if he's got it. Both fighters look composed - OH, not anymore they don't! Lata screams like a kid who's trapped his fingers in the car door and taps out! Yikes, that must have hurt - hopefully it's not snapped anything!
