Chris Lytle brought the house down at Submission Underground, where he faced Jake Shields in a thrilling submission-only grappling matchup.



The bout eventually went to Shields, who won via superior ride time in overtime, but it's everything that happened prior to Shields' hand being raised that sent viewers live and online into a frenzy.



Shields largely controlled the bout with his classic top pressure and a relentless barrage of submission attempts, but Lytle proved why he had never been submitted throughout his combat sports career time and again, slipping out at the last possible second.



Lytle had his moments as well, none better than an armbar attempt during the overtime period. Lytle locked up the submission and appeared close to finishing the bout, but Shields rose to his feet and eventually slipped out, shrugging Lytle's near-attempt away at the last possible second.



In this video, Lytle discusses the bout, atmosphere inside the Roseland Theater, and more.
