Marcelo Cobrinha roll

He believes that with heel hooks in particular you can wind up in all or nothing situations and he would prefer to establish more control rather than just going for it.
 
I don't know about stalemate. Marcelo swept twice and Cobrinha's game was mostly reactive in the vid.

Yeah perhaps in sport BJJ point scoring. I'm looking at it from the perspective of a real martial arts fight. It's razor thin. Cobrinho struggled to pass. Marcelo got top position at 2:30.

Marcelo struggled to pass, Cobrinha got top position at 4:20. Really it's a toss up if it were a Gracie challenge match :)
 
i wonder if Marcelo sees this SLX heel hooking stuff and thinks "why not??"

does he ever go for that type of stuff?? seems like it could be added to his game so easily. he seems to get SLX on elite grapplers at will.
 
2:57 - I don't understand how Marcello just casually steps out of a berimbolo from one of the best berimbolo guys in the world. I don't understand how he does anything.
