Yeah man, no one should knock Leites. If anything they should be super impressed by Keenan and how quickly he's grown.

Exactly. As soon as Keenan locked the Kimura grip, he had at least 4 options:

1. Throw the leg over and armbar (what he did)
2. Throw the leg over and triangle
3. Throw the leg over and Kimura
4. Throw the leg over and secure the back

Keenan fed his leg simultaneously after locking the kimura.

Although I get caught here often, lucas should of never let his elbow unconnect from his ribs. Keenan was 100% goin for it from modified z-guard every time he plopped guard. Also after the kimura is locked, don't let him feed his left leg across the hips. Lucas should have brought his elbow to his hip asap and made keenan take his back. Lesser evil.

They would both destroy me but this is why we watch, study, and analyze the best. Mistakes were made at the highest level and capitolized on so we learn. Awesome match.

That was an awesome match, Keenan is on fire :)

great move!!!
