Blake Christian vs. Michael Oku

They both try dropkicks and it’s an early standoff. Christian offers a left handed handshake and this time he tries a cheap shot only to get dropkicked down.

There’s the Penalty Kick to Christian, who kicks the leg out and hits a 619 between the bottom and middle rope.
