We've had a slow start to the round here - hopefully the action picks up.

Bogdanov wants to stand up, so he's looking to wriggle free of Da Silva's closed guard. He's half up but Da Silva has locked on to an arm! Uh oh! Da Silva pivots and extends the arm, Bogdanov falls face first to the mat and taps??... does he?? YES! He's tapping! Excellent counter grappling there by Da Silva! Well done that man!
