shouldn’t of Ragusin tried riding him out? Score would’ve been tied and he would of been ahead on riding time.
There was a locked hands call which stops the time on the riding clock so he would have lost on riding time with a rideout
 
How can you give a stall for a count on the ankle when they gave an escape?

You can't. It's either an escape or Stall - can't be both. In addition, on replay you can see Angel start 2nd count as clock is going from 0:06 to 0:05 - he the awarded an escape with 0:02 remaining.... impossible for a 5 count.... unless your Angel Rivera. Good Lord he's brutal.
 
Aaron’s chain wrestling can improve. He seems to get in low and deep and then pause and let his opponent counter.

My $0.02 from my couch.

Well that and he's brutal defensively against top opponents - top guys just live on his legs. So yes, he loses tons of scrambles even when he starts in superior position, but that's only ap portion of his problems in Neutral.
