Great scissor sweep by Francis

[Orochimaru 大蛇丸]

It is very important for the failed leg lock attempt to actually be a sweep to the Francis Fans, because that way Frank won the fight by his owns skills and merit, not just Gane throwing it away on a tactical error. If Gane stays on top, he wins the round and the fight as the judges only cared about top control, and Francis Fans know this.

On thing I think is very important to note is the corner advice given to Gane before the final round: his trainer said told him that he was losing, thus making Gane feel like he needed a finish, unaware that he was tied and just needed the round. Knowing this, it makes sense that in the 5th he went for so many subs and kept on trying to finish and improve vs coast for points and lay n pray. Gane did not lose this fight, French Edmund did. Even if it was a legitimate sweep and Gane's leg lock played zero part, there was no reason to try and post for more leverage for ground and pound/passing in such a situation - French Edmund should have told him to hold on for dear life like Francis did when he got top.

It's a dumb mentality to have though, when Rockhold took Weidman's back after he threw that stupid spinning back kick, nobody took credit away from Luke when they said that was a dumb move by Weidman. Francis/Luke were good enough to take advantage of their opponent's mistake, simple as that.

It was a scissor like movement, that resulted in a sweep. It was decent move, but Gane standing putting most weight on his left leg while leaning heavily forward was sort of a gift. Francis at least capitalized. Gane trapped left arm was a key position that helped keep him off balance when he stood stooped over.

Anyone that has ever wrestled has grappled a HW sir.

They made us do shark bait in HS.
That's where you are in the middle and wrestle the five guys on the outside one at a time for 2 minutes each.

Then you go on the outside and the next guy goes in the middle.
They certain don't stop when a HW is next sir.

I have been there thousands of times, literally.

please break down how you have done that thousand(s) of times

are you an olympic athlete that has been training since they were 6?

says you did it in HS

thousandS would be at least 2,000 times

high school is roughly 1100 days from start to finish

you are saying you did shark bait 2x a day, 365 days a year for four years?

If you wrestle shark baits you are wrestling 5 guys which through 6th grade to 12th years/plus summers its at least that sir.

Wow I can't believe Francis was able to perform such a technical scissors sweep and @StonedLemur was able to win an Olympic Gold Medal in wrestling when he weighed 65 pounds. What a thread.
