premise: But i still had wrestling instincts so i made many attempts to shoot . The ref warned my opponent for being to defensive hence we were locked together by 2:30 into the match ... As i went for a shoot my opponent sprawled and i was able to get his head . From there , sprawled and pinned him down and went north south into a back mount . Put my hooks in and scored points . Why might my opponent have sprawled as I went for a shoot to take him down ?
hypothesis: He might have sprawled because that 's the least common defense against take downs .
