Garry Tonon Leglocks Promoter Ralek Gracie in Metamoris 7 Replacement Main Event

The headliner of Metamoris 7 wasn't the bout anticipated or expected, but at least it ended.

Sunday, inside the Ray Dolby Ballroom in Los Angeles, grappling star Garry Tonon gave up 40 pounds to Metamoris founder and promoter Ralek Gracie in their makeshift main event, but still managed to pull off a trademark chain of leglocks in order to force the tap just beyond the 15-minute mark of a scheduled 20.

While the 205-pound Gracie did hit a beautiful drop seoinage at one point on his smaller foe, Tonon's non-stop attacking and scrambling drove the pace of the match, forcing Gracie to the defensive more often than not.
