Jumping guard in mma? Well that's just silly..
I was surprised by that too. I honestly expected him to play a Jacare style top game. Badass way to debut.Quote:

Damn! Jumped guard!? What a beast!
Jumping guard and attacking the arm won't work as easily with high level fighters...
Can't remember the last time, in fact, I can't remember seeing anyone EVER pull guard in an MMA fight ....!

Beautiful. Lock the shoulder. Lock the elbow. Done.
I got such a crush on Kron. It's disturbing, really.
i love how he reacted, like he didn't care. badass
damn... that was some beautiful jiu jitsu
Literally just had a conversation about this fight and me saying I wanted to see it. Came on here to see if anyone was talking about it and posted a video, did not disappoint.Quote:

Classic. Nothing says Jiu Jitsu like armbar from closed guard.
He got hit damn near every time tho. Head movement could help a tad. If the best land like that.. Oh well, jj won :)

Its called the Gracie Stomp, its pretty old school. The idea is that you throw a kick at your opponents knees a couple of times, then the next time you throw it your opponent will lower his hands to stop the stomp. If your opponents hands are down, he cannot punch and it allows you to close the distance and clinch without getting punched. It is mainly for an untrained opponent, haven't seen it in a while. Heres a Judo Chop breakdown of itQuote:

Was the 3rd option his first or second option?
Looked like his 1st, in this case.Quote:

His guard pull is similar to a wrestlers when setting up takedowns with strikes. Albeit, with the Gracie stomp..concept is the same though. Needs to take more angles with footwork in my opinon. Krons still a total bad ass. Wish more Jiu Jitsu practitioners were confident enough in their guard to do this in MMA.
It WAS a 0-0 opponent so we have no reference point. However, it was a good move executed beautifully, nonetheless.
