Lydon gets the takedown into side control. Score +4 for clean takedown past guard: Takeshi (0) vs (4) Lydon
Lydon tries for a kimura. Not really close to a finish though.
Lydon goes for an armbar! This could be all over! Wait, no, Takeshi rolls with the submission and now he's on top in Lydon's guard! Nice work there by Takeshi! Score +2 for sweep to guard / half guard: Takeshi (2) vs (4) Lydon
