About this match
Garry Tonon faced João Miyao at 2015 Five Grappling Super League in a match that ran approximately 16 minutes. The first 10 minutes were contested under submission-only rules, during which Tonon repeatedly attacked Miyao's legs with rolling kneebars and inverted heel hooks, while Miyao maintained superior positioning and threatened with near-miss back-taking attempts. Both competitors scrambled out of bounds multiple times.
When the match shifted to a points period, Tonon pulled guard strategically, knowing that coming up after a double guard pull would award him two points. Miyao's cornerman Murilo Santana contested the two-point award, claiming Miyao had pulled guard first. After reviewing footage, the referee team upheld the two points for Tonon and issued a penalty to Miyao for the missed contest.
Miyao answered late to level the score at 2-2, but the penalty remained in effect. With the score tied, the referee's decision was awarded to Tonon on aggressiveness.
