That's two minutes gone in the round. Neither fighter has done anything of merit for a good minute or two here and the crowd are not happy about it. Benn had isolated an arm as going for a kimura.

St Clair doesn't seem to be doing much to defend here, obviously he feels comfortable in the position. Oh but Benn is tightening it up a little... St Clair has to be careful here... He's got his foot tucked under now, this looks tight! St Clair reacted too slowly and this one could be over in a matter of seconds! YES! St Clair taps out! nice BJJ there by Benn!
