Despite having a 110 kg (240 lb) weight advantage over his foe, Butterbean was unable to capitalize as Sudo was unwilling to exchange strikes. “The Neo- Samurai” took Butterbean to the mat with a low, single-leg takedown at the end of round one and attempted a leglock only to be halted by the bell signaling the end of the round, which had been a stalemate up until then. Early in round two, the fighters tumbled to the ground after Sudo attempted a dropkick on Esch, and the Japanese grappling ace took full advantage of the American boxer’s lack of grappling skill by securing a heel hook submission at the 0:41 mark.
