Richman’s out landing him as Green is looking to set up a takedown attempt but isn’t pulling the trigger. He’s doing a good job at making Richman struggle with finding his range all fight. Not a lot of action as Richman is missing and Green is moving out. 10-9 Richan, 29-28 Green
No objection if it’s the other way, either, as the first was very close. That’ll arguably decide the fight.
