Fight log

Every submission and takedown mention from this match's real commentary — not just the final result. Mined from the video's own captions, so it catches shots that got stuffed and submissions that got defended, not only what ended up on the scoreboard. Research-grade: worth a spot-check against the footage, not an official record.

10. 25:58 Takedown arm drag to sumi gaeshi attempt Defended — Gordon Ryan Deep into overtime and a minute after the passivity call, Gordon drags again and threatens the roll-under sweep with two hooks in. Buchecha answers with the leg post and rips his trapped arm loose.
11. 25:58 Submission arm-trap / back-take threat (kata gatame-style) Defended — Gordon Ryan Gordon re-enters the same arm-drag, hooks-in sequence a few minutes later; commentary describes Buchecha's arm getting trapped and then worked free again.
