Wright working for a submission here. He's tucked his head under his opponent's arm, looking for an arm triangle.

That must have been tighter than I thought! Excellent work there by Wright! Submission of the night perhaps?
Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:42 of round 2, we have a winner by way of Submission (Arm Triangle). Lincoln Wright!
