Jiurgite tries for an arm triangle. That looks pretty tight to me. Is this one over!?! Possibly, maybe, no Jiurgite has let go of the choke. Obviously it wasn't as tight as we thought!
We've had a slow start to the round here - hopefully the action picks up.
Jiurgite is working to tighten his grip on Snake's neck. He's isolated an arm and is working for an arm triangle.
