It connects and Haba has to reset his feet before getting ready to engage. Baxter tries to land a front kick but Haba steps back. That was a bit too telegraphed. Haba looking to shoot here. He's gone for it and he's landed a takedown into side control! Oh, that's bad for Baxter! Baxter is trying to get back to half guard.
