Many of times in that hold, face gets blood red, like it was going to pop off like a zit, but have that little bit of chin and knowing how to handle yourself can take care of that.
Shields knew what he was doing, he wasn't in trouble... now if he decided to take a big deep breath in that hold, Miller would've probably sank that baby in.
Shields remained calmed. He knew the time. Shields is smart. Alot of fighters are smart. I thought it was sunk. The shendo Mulkey isn't a choking of the air move. But I thought it was sunk. Hats off to miller. Hats off to shields for remaining calm and riding it out.
