This is what the competition venue looked like:

We arrived in Abu Dhabi on Friday afternoon and it was very hot.


Sanya had two fights, and in the first fight he lost to the Egyptian boy 4:0 and there were only 2 seconds left until the end and Sanya applied a painful hold to his arm!!!

In the second fight, Sanya entered the painful hold in less than a minute!

At the competitions, all fights were recorded — our two fights can be watched by timing from 2:34:15.
Video from the third mat — watch from 2:34:15


After the competition, we decided to stay overnight in Abu Dhabi in some cool hotel next to the sports arena.
