Yeah, he lost by choke. Shit happens, the guy out grappled Yahya so we shouldn't really think his sub defense sucks but I saw one much bigger problem with him that might cost him really bad. I saw it in the Finnish news where they showed his training and I saw it in the very first exchange.
The guy jumps in when punching from distance. Like really far. I see it so clearly because my own coach in boxing told me that I jump in and it's terrible. He needs to get rhythm to his striking and footwork in order to be more in control of the situation. He now needed to reach for the takedowns because he didn't have rhythm and him getting choked was unavoidable. He reaches too much and Rani got few chokes on him but Swede's unorthodox choke caught him off guard and was enough to make him tap.
If he keeps jumping in he either gets counter KO'd by knee, punches, gets reversed in takedown to terrible position or gets choked out. And damn as sad as I was for Tom, I was really happy for B
