Partner shoots in with a lovely double leg takedown. McManus manages to land in full guard to minimise the damage. The fighters are pressed up against the cage, both looking to find a bit of space to work. The referee wants the fighters to be more active or he's going to reset them on the feet. Partner keeps in close for a moment and lands a decent shot to the side of McManus's head. Partner has to be careful here, sitting in the guard of a superior BJJ player.

Partner wants to pass the guard but McManus is keeping the position. McManus is a painfully thin specimen of a man. You do wonder whether a good body kick would snap him clean in two. Partner passes into half guard. Wooooo! Give it up for these two warriors! They are putting on a show!
