1) Liu Hailong's timing on his takedowns is enviable.
2) The kick at 1:43 is one of those that I'm always a bit dubious about using. I'd be curious to hear opinions of people who use it more(I've done it a lot, just not in fighting, to be honest). He does it again at 4:58, pretty sly with it.
3) I wish that the striking had been a bit more extensive, as soon as the hands were involved, Liu Hailong would generally clinch, so it limited some of that. Given his timing on his takedowns, understandable.
