Garns throws a body kick, spinning off balance

and Shaw counters with a nice double leg into guard.

Shaw stands up over his opponent, looking to dive in with a big punch. Here he comes, superman style! Oh, the punch misses and Garns has got him in a triangle choke for good measure! Oh no! Shaw manages to get his head free but now Garns has transitioned to an armbar! Shaw grimaces and is forced to tap! Beautiful Jiu Jitsu from Garns! I'd be surprised if that didn't end up as submission of the night!
