Polaris 5 featured a lot of social media commentary and insults leading into the event where Garry Tonon and Dillon Danis would compete for the second time. At the end of the day, Tonon would have his hand raised in victory but their level of animosity online didn’t match what occurred on the mat.
Tonon was the clear aggressor in nearly every position of the match. He pushed the pace looking for takedowns, forcing Danis to sprawl and defend multiple times. Tonon went for a failed scissor entry that allowed Danis to get top position, but Tonon remained active looking for multiple attacks.
