anyway..
we went back and forth standing for 2 minutes and both got stalling penalties. shortly after he went for a guard pull hip sweep and landed in my cross collar choke. got the angle, but not as strong as i wanted, and he was a beast.. told me he almost went out before i switched approaches thinking i wouldn't finish the choke. about 3 minutes left at that point. went to my knee shield and he got good top pressure so i tried to set up a harpoon when he got to side since the pass was inevitable at that point. failed 2x (did i mention he was strong af w/ good hips?) and he moved to north south to avoid me hitting it a 3rd time. tried to throw a bottom darce i learned from bill cooper but his movement was too good. had about a minute left and down on points so i went turtle trying to granby recover guard and he got a hook in to try a back take to bow and arrow. fought him off and got out with 20s left, threw up a hail mary triangle but too late. lost on points.
was a great time, gordon ryan was awesome, and guybson sa took care of all of us (serious - there was a sports massage table w/ licensed massage therapist giving pre and post fight 30m massages..).
i can u/l footage of the match if you'd like. the kakuto guys did commentary but i scrubbed the audio since there was a lot of personal info given.
