The opponent is Otap by the way. He's awesome. The cool thing is that now that I've followed Geo for a while I feel like I was starting to expect what he was about to do. Early on when he got under the hips for the stack pass and the leg drag situation also, I thought he was going into the truck. From spiral I thought he was going to the honey hole but he ended up in double outside ashi. At around 2:05 I was expecting a rolling kimura.

The sweep at 1:59 is awesome. he has a great youtube channel where he breaks down matches. The guillotine sweep into the darce the finished the match at 1:45 it looked like Geo had gone for that left handed guillotine a few times. So I wonder if that's a sweep he does often. Geo had awesome awareness on the darce to tie up the legs/hips with his legs so Ostap couldn't get away. That's such a key detail for darces and marces against good guys.

One question for the leg lockers. At 1:35 when Ostap stands up, why did Geo start to pull top-side ashi? It seems like it leaves a lot of room for the top guy to stuff the inside knee and come through to pass, which is what the opponent tried at 1:42. Isn't it smarter to move the leg from ashi to top side ashi when your opponent is also on the floor and not standing?

The sweep at 1:20 was so smooth, too. What's it called in the 10th P system? It's like Cyborg's Tornado guard sweep or some call it Kiss of the Dragon.

At 1:20 he has a reverse de la riva hook, than once he under hooks he goes kiss of the Dragon for the entry
