Broadhurst working from the bottom, still in full guard. He's managed to get a loose triangle. Prior doesn't seem to be doing much to defend here, obviously he feels comfortable in the position. Prior manages to throw the legs off his shoulder and he's back into guard - no problem.

Prior has a momentary lapse of concentration, allowing Broadhurst to throw up a leg and lock on what appears to be a pretty tight triangle! Prior is fighting it off but it's all too little too late - Broadhurst pulls down on the head and he's put Prior to sleep! This one is all over!
