Listened to Ortega on the MMA hour today.

To paraphrase he answered a coulple of the questions asked here.

Brian said Cub did try to defend properly moving his legs. T-city then said as soon as he felt Cub moving his legs correctly he knew he wasnt tight enough to finish and would lose it and he used the word "risk" when describing the hand readjustment. He also specifically said he wanted to get his legs back into position AND readjust his grip at the same time which he was able to do - some high level shit. He actually said he was "killing two birds with one stone" like a chess player playing two pieces at the same time.

So Cub was defending correctly and Ortega had to risk to readjust the hands OR else give up the neck and maybe fall on his back. The "risk" paid off, he was very confident he was going to submit Cub.
