Gianni Grippo vs Tom Barlow

At Polaris 2, Tom Barlow opted to pull guard, and Gianni Grippo moved forward with pressure from the top rather than stalling. The two exchanged rapid guard-passing and leg-entry attempts, moving through double guard and into 50/50 positions.

Barlow took the initiative going for footlocks, but Grippo was the one who managed to sink his heel hook deepest. Barlow attempted to roll to escape but could not get out, and was forced to tap.
