Tonon's opponent was an unknown guy from India (Raju) who had a fair bit of size on Tonon, and was actually a decent athlete.
Throughout the fight Tonon put Raju in a ton of bad positions, yet Raju was able to escape each time. Multiple leglock attempts, a mounted triangle attempt into an omoplata, yet he couldn't put Raju away.
Finally, in round 3 Tonon caught him in a straightjacket with Raju's right arm trapped, and was able to finish the RNC. It may have been the first "walk off" submission in MMA history, as Tonon actually released his leg grips entirely before Raju tapped.
