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.

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.
