Talbain throws a looping left and ducks down for a takedown. He's got his arms around Lang's waist but Lang gets an underhook and avoids the takedown by throwing Talbain off to one side.

Lang drives through with a takedown into Talbain's guard. Let's see what he can do from the top position.

Talbain working from the bottom, still in full guard. He's managed to get a loose triangle. Lang doesn't seem to be doing much to defend here, obviously he feels comfortable in the position. Oh but Talbain is tightening it up a little... Lang has to be careful here... He's got his foot tucked under now, this looks tight! Lang reacted too slowly and this one could be over in a matter of seconds! YES! Lang taps out! Nice BJJ there by Talbain!
