For the second time in his career, UFC welterweight Chris Lytle kept Matt Brown at bay with a second-round submission at UFC 116. And he did it with a hold he’s used in competition before.

“Those (submissions) were just kind of luck I guess,” Lytle said. “I’m not very good on the ground. I’m a boxer, pure and simple.”
