[Eddie Bravo]

On my back is the last place I wanna be

[John P]

exactly being on your back and triangles are way overrated =-)

[Tyler Timmermans]

standing wrist locks are the way to go

[Austin_Pip]

I will pull guard all the time in competitions, I am 6'3'' and 230, it just works for me that is.

[stlnl]

Note he isnt saying bottom is where you WANT to be. He is saying for MMA, you better be good from the bottom, and reason he says it is, sooner or later, you are going to be on bottom.

[ViciousVictor]

i love the halfguard for me if someone gets in or gets stuck in my halfguard its bad iv been doing this oldskool /electchair thing
been tricking everyone with it

in most of your videos it seems like you always pull half guard or full guard before you work your top game.

[Brandon Palmer]

Thats just cause, admitedly, his wrestling sucks and he doesn't have many options of putting folks where he wants them. So he'll pull, sweep, then on top.

Most everyone would rather be on top if they had their druthers.

I know I would, EVEN THOUGH my guard is the best part of my game.

Go figure.

Yea I would've guessed that Eddie would prefer fighting off his back too, but I guessed wrong.
