Lemos takes the back off the trip and gets an arm around Rodriguez's neck. Rodriguez fights the hands and starts trying to spin through to guard. Lemos just lets hooks go and stays on top in half guard. #UFCVegas64

Herzog is one of the best refs out there but that looked early, maybe I’m just spoiled cause he let mine vs Lemos ride. Hope I get that rematch one day but gotta handle Ducote first. #UFCVegas64
