Up until the point of the leg lock he was doing very well both technically and physically, so I am actually looking forward to seeing where it goes in the future.
Technically no. Physically yes. He had tons and tons of energy, but almost no technique. Sloppy side control, no attempt what so ever at mount, no hip control, and a flurry of hammer punches on a fresh fighter isnt going to knock him out. He got a lousy call with that point deduction, but the ankle lock was a noob mistake. In fact, when you are learning BJJ and performing a leg lock, they have your opponent leave himself open in the same manor. it was dynamic to say the least. Im looking forward to see what he does in the future. He has had better fights.
