Okay at 6:15 or so, they are fighting in too deep of a stance. When standing in a deep stance, it's impossible to throw a rear-roundhouse kick or rear straight kick without telegraphing your motions too much. Both fighters have the same problem: They go to throw a kick and the other guy sees it coming too easily because they can't help but telegraph their kicks from that stance. People should learn to fight in a Seisan, or Guard stance, like most MMA fighters use.
1:30 Oh come on. You shouldn't need to coach a Black Belt to know how to avoid a sweep. That's like light green belt level knowledge right there. 4:30 nice kick to the bladder. It's a good thing he did actually control the striker and not just nail him 3 inches below the belt. That guy would have urinated on himself if he got hit full power right there. I don't care what Gabriel Varga says, I was taught by Marine Combat instructors that you should never drop your hands to counter-balance your kicks: you'll eat someone's counter punches to your face. That's exactly what just happened to the guy in this video too. He dropped his guard to balance his own kick, and then he ate a straight punch right in the face.
