Very slick. Maybe a small mod necessary for no gi/MMA but not too much.

Could you transition to spiral when he squats?
you could do a nice knee compression off of this.
check out herzog's grinder counter, samething just different entry.
There seems to be a lot of counters to the dlr hook. Ive only just started messing with it, but it seems to be a pain in peoples butts when someone is really good with it

Lots of counters to the DLR hook. That's actually how Silva ended up in that knee bar in the first Weidman fight.
I avoid the DLR hook after getting hit with a calf crusher. Its either shin to shin for me or a modified DLR hook..Kind of a sloppy looking DLR hook but very effective for me.
I like the concept of the HQ position but it hasnt gotten above a white belt level position/strategy for me as of yet. Lovato covers this in his Pressure passing DVD both gi and no gi.
Pretty much the same way I do it but I look to attack that compressed leg (non-dlr hook leg) with leg locks and get to the russian knot. I always start all my DLR passes and leg locks by compressing that leg though, had a lot of success with that the last few months.
