He's hooked one of Gracie's legs and he's managed to sneak out and take Gracie's back! Gracie tries to escape the position - he's now mounted. Is that better or worse? Hard to tell! Chong jumps to the side looking to secure the arm triangle. Ooooh, that looks tight Gracie is gargling but he's managed to escape! Nice work there by Gracie and Chong has given up the dominant position trying to land that submission.
Gracie can't do much from the bottom here. The ref warns both fighters not to hold the cage as they work up against the meshing. The fighters are starting to get a bit slippery now, which will make submissions a bit more difficult. Chong tries to move to full mount but Gracie actually manages to regain half guard.
That's two minutes gone in the round. Gracie has hold of a guillotine but he's not going to be able to crank on it really with only half guard, so it's no trouble for Chong.
