Montell hits another nice high crotch and gets in DEEP. He is really close but still not giving it to him and he almost stacks Russell for the pin. There is the takedown! 5-4 Montell Marion with 40 seconds left and now he is riding him too.
Mark gets to his feet with about 30 seconds left and Grajales pushes him out of bounds. Mark tries to stand up off the restart but can't get out and the 1st period will end 2-0 Grajales with 2:43 of riding time.
Doesn't look real confident anywhere right now. I'm wondering if giving up the weight is taking some of that away because he doesn't have the same Mark Ballweg swagger today.
