Not sure what the name of the move is, but McKinney, from bottom flipped Brown directly to his back and the referee spent quite a few seconds checking to see if Brown’s back was in criteria for near fall, or at least to determine whether or not to award a reversal. Meanwhile the whole time McKinney is holding Brown in this position, his back is exposed (self inflicted, attempting the 5 point move). A stale mate is called and after a brief consultation with the assistant ref, Brown was awarded 3 near fall. Yes, that’s not a typo. Brown was awarded the near fall.
In my opinion, this would be equivalent to a bottom wrestler hitting a Peterson, and the bottom guy fighting so hard to prevent near fall, eventually gets back on top and the TOP guy getting 3 points because the bottom wrestler exposed his back while attempting a Peterson. This seems wrong to me but a fascinating case-study for officiating mat-wrestling.
