Using his wrestling skills, Bader is trying to push Drysdale up against the cage. Drysdale ends up backed against the cage. From the looks of things, I don't think Ryan Bader has much energy left. It may be that the amount of weight he cut for this fight has drained some of his energy. Drysdale struggles back against Bader, not allowing him to control the grappling. Out of the blue, Drysdale slaps on a standing guillotine! The guillotine is locked in, tight enough that Bader has to tap out! The winner, by submission, is Robert Drysdale!"
