Dream 6: Masanori Tonooka vs Yoshihiro Akiyama
Round 1: Akiyama, wearing the full gi again, picks Tonooka up and places him on his back after about 90 seconds of tentative exchange on the feet. The judoka is working side control and appears to be trying to smother his opponent with his gi jacket. With Tonooka’s left arm between his legs and right arm pinned down, Akiyama rains down short shots and hammerfists as the ref yells “Give up?!” Tonooka does not, and Akiyama transitions to full mount, softening the karate expert up with hammerfists, working for an armbar, and finally transitioning to back mount where Tonooka is able to escape! Akiyama takes him straight back down and regains mount, pivots his hips to Tonooka’s left and rolls him over for the submission.
