Murphy tries to keep at a distance but Justice has taken the fight into the clinch.#TD2#
Justice drags the fight down to the ground.
#SUB2#
Justice working from the bottom, still in full guard. He's managed to get a loose triangle. Murphy doesn't seem to be doing much to defend here, obviously he feels comfortable in the position. Oh but Justice is tightening it up a little... Murphy has to be careful here... He's got his foot tucked under now, this looks tight! Murphy reacted too slowly and this one could be over in a matter of seconds! YES! Murphy taps out! Nice BJJ there by Justice!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:24 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle Choke). Carson Justice! |
