There was a 5 point lead after the riding time point and the restart was with 5 seconds left. Caldwell's hands for the flip hit the mat as time expired and the actual backflip came a few seconds after time expired. Metcalf had no business pushing him like that. Guy's like Caldwell are good for the sport though, kinda like Johnny Hendricks was. Showboating adds a little bit of drama and excitement to a sometimes boring sport.

More importantly than all of this crap talked about, did anybody actually watch the match? Caldwell broke Metcalf mentally with that last takedown as Metcalf was in a position to score and just let go of the leg. Pretty impressive match by Caldwell.
