Not as early as I thought. 11 am ET.

check this move from Lilledahl's R1 match. His opponent Lev Pavlov, was in deep on a single. For most, it would be impressive to avoid giving up a TD in that situation. Lilledahl uses a whizzer to avoid getting taken down, and then uses an inside ankle pick while still holding the whizzer to end up getting the TD.

What a finish:

Pretty nice move against the U20 European Champ, Abdullayev.

The only negative in the video was the ref, who was really slow to get into position.

What a finish:

The same move from a different camera angle:
