Ha! I love the kick to the face when you are belly to back standing up.

Pretty cool. Seems so obvious when you see it.

Someone has to have posted the .gif of Tank Abbott throwing his opponent out of the cage by now.

I always wondered why you don't see the Goodridge crucifix more often as a defense for the single leg. Is it that hard to get?

 

[ultramanhyata]

Excellent move for getting safely out of danger on one side of the cage so you can reset on the other side.

Spinning across the floor on hands and knees keeps your opponent from throwing kicks, not wanting to risk a DQ with a head shot to a downed opponent.

It also makes the timing of punches very difficult because the constant revolutions may result in an inadvertent strike to the back of the head.

People tend to laugh at this gif not realizing that Lesnar and his trainers were breaking some new ground in defense techniques with this move.

That was nice, what's it called?

Eddie Bravo refers to the position as the meathook. It's a triangle setup off basic rubber guard.

We're working on these all month at the gym.

I loved that dude from Pettis's gym Krauss??
he kept throwing a flying superman uppercut and he connected every time with it.

He was a very technical kickboxer and he fought a rugged tough dude.

Thanks to Augustus Caesar for posting this in another thread

i've always thought the inverted armbar from the guard is very under utilized. it's difficult to lock up, especially without a gi, but it's a pretty low risk move so i don't see why fighters don't attempt it more often. omigawa is really the only guy that i've seen go after them.

he tapped cole escovedo

had mendes is in a little trouble briefly as well

Now I see where Hendo got it from.

Some more Saku love.

I like what Seanbaby says about it. Sakuraba always seemed like he was making up moves as he fought:

As the fight went on, Sakuraba got more and more creative, combining his taunts and his attacks into an entirely new martial art. He pulled Royce's gi over his head and beat him like a hockey player. When Royce was on the ground, Sakuraba grabbed his pants and reverse-wedgied him up to drop him on his head. He snuck attacks through Royce's defenses with two-handed karate chops. In one fight, Sakuraba recreated the entire evolutionary process that led to monkeys being able to crack open palm nuts.
Sakuraba wasn't disrespectful so much as he was just trying to entertain himself. He looked like a five-year-old forced to go to the laundromat with his parents. And like that poor bored child's day, this fight went on for fucking ever. For six 15-minute rounds, Sakuraba put on a violent improvisational comedy show with only one prop.
