Pretty sweet wrestling by Tito in his fight over the weekend! Minus the size advantage and Schlemenko's lack of grappling experience.
Tito fought for the clinch, worked into a deep underhook and drove for a far side knee tap that he turned into a slip or duck under, ending up on Schlemenko's back on the ground. Instead of putting the hooks in, Tito hit a nice spiral ride to flatten him out and as Schlemenko turned to his back in an attempt to regain a half guard it was the perfect setup Tito needed to lock in the head and arm finish.
He said he drilled this situation continuously in his training camp and was his game plan for finishing the fight.
Wondering what people thought of it and for the BJJ crowd do you have much experience vs the Spiral Ride and if so how do you defend vs it?
