Sakuraba has a loose triangle. He'll be looking to tighten that up but Miller can see exactly what he's planning and manages to posture up and free himself.

Sakuraba is actively looking for submissions from his back. He's worked himself a little space on the bottom and seems to be going for a triangle. No, he's switched into an armbar! That was slick! Miller rolls with it to try and escape but Sakuraba cranks on the arm and Miller is forced to tap out! This one is aaaaaaaaall over!
