So I was watching last weekend’s fights and I noticed two guys who used the body lock. Both Condit and Matthew Lopez tried to get the RNC.
Both were way too high up on the body to get leverage to get the Choke, as opposed having hooks and being low enough to get it.
These guys are pros and I couldn’t figure out why they kept expending so much energy trying to get it while being so high up.
My question, how do you guys see the application of getting the Choke while having your legs locked around your opponent’s body? Isn’t it necessary to go with hooks to get the Choke?
