That detail where he loops his leg over to crank the arm and lock the anaconda just kills me ... brilliant.

I don't really enjoy watching no-gi, or bjj, but Rafa Mendes is one of my favorite guys to watch.

His idea to use your legs to deepen the trapped arm on his arm triangles is one of those innovations that makes it so much better to where you wonder how no one thought of it before. I can’t imagine not doing it that way now. Rafa’s awesome.
