I'm sure you know this but Rafa does this one too. He prefers it over the gator roll. He never will roll with the choke he believes it is too risky. Hell either roll you over your head or roll over yours



Come to think of it I think Denny Prokopos uses that DDT style entry as well. He did it on one of the early MTS episodes

[Liquidrob]

Yeah, Rafa doesn't like the roll, I never had luck with the roll either, I really like this Werdum one, just cut the leg and trap it, really has been working well for me, the Rafaconda and Wedum version has completely changed my stance on anaconda

Yeah, I seen Denny do that on MTS, like you said, more of a DDT version

Been drilling this like crazy !! Threw in getting on top with Darce and Jap necktie/ Marcelotine finishes as well

[Liquidrob]

Nice!

A nice flow I was drilling that everyone seemed to like went from half guard to Rafaconda, they escape to the knees, werdum version/knee cut anaconda and catch the leg, they break free and roll the other way so follow to the turtle and slap on the Marcelotine

One that Rafa shows is also if they get to their knees to come up, switch arms through and fall into a marce or sliding darce or whaever you call it on the opposite side. Or to follow them up and hit the high-elbow guillotine, marcelo style.

How do you guys feel about standing up and rolling them back? Like, you have the anaconda locked while you're both on your knees, then you hop up to your feet and kinda bulldoze them backward and end up in mount?

Or if the bulldoze into you, you can pull guard and still finish the choke (like DoBronx did against Jonathan Brookins).

I've done it a couple times and it seems to work well. But I'm a whitebelt who made it work on another white belt. So I wanna know if it's something that really works, or something I made work at a low level.
