Gordon Ryan vs Felipe Pena

Felipe Pena was positionally dominant throughout this match against Gordon Ryan at 2016 Studio 540 Superfight. Ryan pushed the pace for most of the match, repeatedly seeking leg entanglements, some of which Pena used to scramble and attempt back takes of his own. Pena also used the knee slide pass successfully, completing four passes in total before securing back control and forcing Ryan to tap.
