No footage (should be getting some pro photos from the event) but I went 2-1.
First victory I caught the guy on his first shoot and put him in a standing guillotine... I think they said 40 seconds.
Second match went nearly the full 5 minutes. A lot of changing positions, etc, but finally caught him in a ... ****, forget the name, when you put your one arm around their head (from mount), grab the sleave of your other arm and shove that forearm into his throat and pinch it shut.
I had my last match about 3 minutes after this bought and gassed. The other guy secured mount on me at least twice, maybe three times. I gained position once or twice but he rolled out of the ring.
The buzzer sounded with me in side control with a kimura locked in but not doing enough, just transitioning to a knee to raise the elbow and was about to go for an armbar when he rolled out again and then the buzzer.
All and all I feel good about how I did because I missed the past three weeks of training due to surgery and I've only put in 4 months.
I have to find a place to roll and learn in PR. Love this style and I know enough to know how much more I need to learn.
