About this match
This match at Polaris 5 played out as a submission-only contest between two contrasting styles. Jamie Scott came in as a traditional 10th Planet guard player, bringing strong submission offense and defense while showing limited guard retention. Tuomas Simola took a more positional and patient approach, working to pass and find a finish.
Simola imposed his game throughout, passing Scott's guard many times, approaching double digits, and also taking Scott's back at points during the match. Scott demonstrated solid submission defense and managed to threaten on offense as well, most notably in the final minute when he attempted a gogoplata, which Simola defended.
Neither competitor secured a submission, leaving the match to play out its full duration under submission-only rules.
