Maccall engaging in some classic timewasting tactics. #SUB#
Nunes is working actively off his back, looking to secure an arm or perhaps work for a triangle. #SUB#
Nunes working from the bottom, still in full guard. He's managed to get a loose triangle. Maccall doesn't seem to be doing much to defend here, obviously he feels comfortable in the position. Maccall manages to throw the legs off his shoulder and he's back into guard - no problem.
And that's the end of the fight!
