Livingston shoots in for a takedown! He's got it and he's managed to land in side control! That's better than Livingston was expecting from the takedown attempt, I'm sure!
We could do with one of the fighters taking the initiative a bit more on the ground - they're both waiting to capitalize on a mistake.#SU2#
