The choke he pulls off at around 28seconds is the guillotine we have been talking about in the 10finger guillotine thread

Crazy ass guillotines from hell!
Hell yea! Of course he can still throw a Mata Leao with the best of them, but his Guillotines have been raised to a level that is truly so high above the next best person. No one is anywhere close to his level. Like I also said here and on MGinaction, it's appropriate to classify the North/South choke as a sort of Guillotine. Marcelo himself for a long time called it the reverse/inverted Guillotine choke. When you consider that choke too, he can really get your neck from just about anywhere. He/everyone else knows he could obviously do Darces, Gators, and Arm Triangles, but he really doesn't need to, as much as I would love to see him do them.
He truly has that attitude of acting like every opponent is a Roger Gracie, and if he can't Darce Roger, he's not going to practice it on anyone else. It's not my game to play that way, or even most people's, but his Jiu-Jitsu is truly universal.

Me and a few of the guys from HQ have flown to NYC and trained with Marcelo. He is simply incredible. He was totally cool to us and so were his guys. They are all class acts and amazingly talented at that school.
It should also be noted that Master Eddie thinks Marcelo is the greatest grappler to ever live.
