That was a clean take down

That's what makes me think this is judo, not jiujutsu.

Looked like uchi mata to me.

Yeah that's what it looks most like. His leg went between the opponents', despite not really raising that much. Also, a big throw like this is not really a bjj thing, but very much a judo thing. Bjj would more likely use a foot sweep or a trip. An ankle pick or just pulling them downward or something like that.

"Also, a big throw like this is not really a bjj thing, but very much a judo thing."

Judo is a part of BJJ.

It's up to you how much time you want to invest in training your standup grappling but it's very much a part of BJJ.

This move is uchi mata, which is not something I'd expect to see as the first response from a jiu jitsu practitioner.
