Disputed points: Midway through the match, Roger attains side control. Under IBJJF rules, no points should be awarded for the guard pass, as Buchecha went to turtle (12:13) under his own movement and wasn't forced by Roger (hence no advantage for the turtle). At 12:08, Buchecha tried to regain guard but failed and ended up in side control, meaning no points for Gracie, as he did not technically pass the guard.
