Terrible round for Ferg, he can’t get off his back

Smart and calculated from Dariush on top with his control and top pressure. Tony can’t hang out on bottom like that again in a 3 RD scrap. #UFC262

Tony is a savage. It felt like he excepted his knee popping out during that leg lock until he slipped out. Didn’t care!! #UFC262

Of course people we downplay Dariush’s ground control. So impressive to keep a guy like tony down for 13-14 minutes and also a real submission threat. Tip of the cap to a smart hard fought fight. Holding somebody down is HARD. People can’t seem to understand that.
