#R1# Some wild striking there from Good.
Good looks exhausted already! Oh dear, he should have come in in better shape than this!#TD# Odogwu tries to sprawl but Good drives through with a takedown into half guard. Odogwu slips a foot under and gets full guard. Nice work. Odogwu looking for a sweep. Not yet Odogwu, not yet. #SUB2# Good is sitting in close to Odogwu's body.

That was a very nice submission by Odogwu.
