That was pretty neat. Was he using the London, and if so, why? I thought it was a retired form of the rubber guard.

London/William's Guard has lots of merit. Eddie stopped working with it in the RG path but that doesn't mean it's useless or that other BJJ practitioners wont use it.

Caio is so open minded. He had Denny teach some stuff on his website too.

London works if your opponent isn't aware that he can cartwheel out of it into side control. Most jitzers don't know this counter so it can still be very useful

Plus, there's a counter to the counter - single leg:

I really like this counter. It just means having a good single leg game from your knees which is important in mma!!!

You can also roll away and sweep when they're midway through their cartwheel pass. Also if you roll in the gi, if you can get the lapel feed, if they try and cartwheel pass, they choke themselves. Or you can get several lapel choke variations from that grip, i'm sure you can also use the brabo grip too.
