Tanner is trying to trip Smith. He has hold of a leg but Smith is hopping around, keeping his balance for the moment. Tanner persists though and gets the takedown into guard.
Tanner won't allow Smith to sweep him here.

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