[@ramirospinelli6453]

Espen and Tommy have some wicked guard transitions.

This guys not only play guard, they pass and finish.

I remember this match with Espen dominating since his finish was the last impression: back take attempt, to sweep, to pass, to kimura attempt to choke. amazing. But Edwin had the right gameplan. his passing attempts were beautiful, and as much as one would say he should have fought more aggressively; its so damn hard to fight relentlessly against Espen cause any given space, he'll reset each time. Edwin was picking his shots to pass, scoring those adv. And he was surely going for those estima locks if espen kept his feet dangling, and would have forced his signature darce choke had he made it to half guard. Great fight from both of them

najmi looked too relaxed, gave up some positions easier than usual. good win to espen.
