Coolguy is trying to work a guillotine from the top, or something like that? Don't know how he thinks he's going to get a finish from there.
Bluthe is looking to sinch up a triangle. Coolguy throws the leg off to one side though and gets in tight to Bluthe's body to avoid the submission. Bluthe has instead reached around Coolguy's neck and now has a guillotine! Oh, this is biiiig trouble! Bluthe arches his back and squeezes and forces the tap from his hapless opponent.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:23 of round 4, we have a winner by way of Submission (Guillotine). Gob Bluthe!
