Somehow the fact the he used uchi mata surprised me more than his defeat

That wasn’t uchimata. Abe was going for ogoshi with split squat stance which is his 2nd favorite technique after double sleeve sode.

I think you might be right he was going for a hip throw and white initiated first by lifting the hooked inside leg. If that’s the case, genius set up from Dzhebov.

It was more likely an uchimata, though

Edit: You’re right! He forced Abe to go for Uchimata. https://youtube.com/shorts/tk_AxwE2eII?si=nU7Q0yP7NxEwFomQ

That's a good observation from the slow mo it does look like things go wrong for abe and he tries to throw in the uchi mata as a last ditch/oh shit moment

Ohhh that makes sense. I thought underhook uchi mata was a strange decision...

Now I see that Dzhebov forced uchi-mata sukashi by hooking the leg, despite the attack being Ogoshi (or maybe uki goshi)

You're getting down voted but you're right. If you watch closely right as Abe stabs his leg, white hooks Abe's leg and elevates it in a weird reverse kosoto/kouchi gake.

What I'm not sure of is whether Abe tries to ride it and turn it into uchi mata, but his original intent was his split-step hip throw entry.

It’s uchimata..and not his greatest throw, paid the price
