I thought this was a good analysis.  Any thoughts?

Thanks for posting Garth. I scrolled through, as it was long. Good job, but a couple things to note- They said that Mir muscled his first takedown, but it was actually a great technical throw, a variation of the head tilt, but using the forearm and hooking the leg at the same time. Very nice, the first time I've seen that in the UFC.

On the transition to the side after Mir secured the Kimura position, he didn't sort of hop his legs over, he did a shrimp across the body which is why Nog couldn't tangle up his legs. Very well-practiced and precise technique.

Thanks again for the video!
