Class notes: UFC Fight Night Austin - Edgar's takedowns

Frankie take down

Round 2 against Cub Swanson:
My words would be ineffective if preceding Lee's words so here is the video he made.



Side back control from standing, side body cinch, apply pressure with the shoulder to the back to drive him down to the floor, he will push back up, keep the grip and slide around to his front, keep the head against his body, slide down to the double hip lift.

Marcello Garcia inner forearm choke from the back, hand on the shoulder and squeeze your elbow to your shoulder. The concept was tilting the head forward to close the gap and pressure to the back of the head. Lee showed a reverse gogoplata, and omoplata (shoulder rotation with the legs), spider web from the back to inner forearm choke.

In the following video you can see Garcia applying some very tight forearm chokes.

At 1.21, 1.44, 2.20, 2.39 and so on... He uses the concept Lee was talking about, closing the chin to neck gap and pressure on the back of the head.



In this video you can see Garcia doing the one armed inner forearm choke, first at 0.17. It is quick and horrible. It feels like the throat is being crushed.
