He then attacked his legs and knocked his rival down. Very easily he reached the back and sought the choke. Caraway defended himself as best he could.

In the last part, Caraway repeated the recipe from the previous part. He quickly closed the distance and got the takedown from the clinch. Sterling managed to get up, risked a quick knee, but ended up with his back on the ground. Sterling tried to attack despite being in an unfavorable position on the ground, but was unable to reverse the deficit until the bell sounded.
