Faire feints and as Luque raises his hands in defense, Faire changes levels and drives through with a takedown into guard.
Faire forces his way into half guard.
Luque on his back here. We all know that wrestlers don't like being on their back so let's see if Luque tries to get out of the position.
Faire moves nicely into side control. #SUB2#
Faire has worked his way into a potential kimura here. Luque is trying to get out of the position but his squirming has just got him deeper into trouble. Faire yanks on the arm and Luque is forced to tap due to a very painful looking submission! Nice work by Faire.
