gave up a late takedown, had to get out and get his own takedown with short time left, and rideout for the win. This one was a bit funky for a couple of reasons:
1) I didn't think it was clear Rodgers got the the takedown criteria on his, but never the less DMF got out.
2) With about 6 seconds left I assumed Rodgers would be able to hold the leg for a deadlock and run out the clock, when DMF rolled him sideways I thought "this would have been great for freestyle, but probably won't score here" but did manage to get control.

Looking back I'd put both Rodgers and Mekhi as tough AA competitors and actually improved my view of Mekhi even more.
