It looks like Mirko Cro Cop has been cut. We've had a slow start to the round here - hopefully the action picks up. Marshall content to control rather than advance.
That's one minute gone in the round. Cro Cop really doesn't want to stay on the ground with Marshall. If he can't get it back to his feet, it's only a matter of time before he'll be tapping out. Marshall has controlled the position for a good 20 seconds, which will no doubt be starting to frustrate his opponent. Marshall prevents Cro Cop from standing back up.

That has opened up Mirko Cro Cop's cut even more.
