Bystrom working from the bottom, still in full guard. He's managed to get a loose triangle. Stevenson doesn't seem to be doing much to defend here, obviously he feels comfortable in the position. Oh but Bystrom is tightening it up a little... Stevenson has to be careful here... He's got his foot tucked under now, this looks tight! Stevenson reacted too slowly and this one could be over in a matter of seconds! YES! Stevenson taps out! Nice BJJ there by Bystrom!
