Polite applause from the crowd in appreciation of some nice Jiu Jitsu by Nolton. Ryan managing to control the position. Ryan looking to sweep here. No luck so far. Nolton stands up over his opponent, looking to dive in with a big punch. Here he comes, superman style! Oh, the punch misses and Ryan has got him in a triangle choke for good measure! Oh no! Nolton manages to get his head free but now Ryan has transitioned to an armbar! Nolton grimaces and is forced to tap! Beautiful Jiu Jitsu from Ryan! I'd be surprised if that didn't end up as submission of the night!
