He may have flipped his opponent over, but to no particular avail.

They landed in the "passivity zone" and got a warning to come back to the center of the mat.
Neither did he get his opponent's both shoulders to the floor.

Much ado about nothing. Nice move though.

Passivity and Protection Zones

The red circle that surrounds the circumference of the wrestling area is known as the “passivity zone.” The one meter between the passivity and protection zone is considered to be “in bounds.” When the action moves into this area, wrestlers are warned to keep the wrestling in the center of the mat. The space outside of the passivity zone is called the “protection zone” and is considered out of bounds. In order to ensure that wrestlers are safe if the action continues out of bounds, this space must extend at least one and one-half meters past the passivity zone boundary.
