I don't have the match saved but in my ICON Welterweight title fight, Shane Primm ground and pounded his way to 4 10-9 rounds against Peter Sobotta. In the last round, it looked like more of the same untill Peter Sobotta managed to lock in a guillotine choke with 30 seconds to go. Sobotta won the title from the brink of defeat.
