We could do with one of the fighters taking the initiative a bit more on the ground - they're both waiting to capitalize on a mistake.

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