I don't understand all the negativity in the comments, anyone with any grappling experience can understand the incredible level of conditioning this guy has. I am really impressed by this ability to remain explosive even deep into the fight. I would be interested to know more about his training techniques.

Dang. The level of these events sure has skyrocketed in the last 5 years. The Open events are way higher level than this Trials/ADCC qualifier was.

''Some Wrestling Experience, and been training bjj for three months'' I guess he was born with a left cauliflower ear.

crazy to see how much of his technique is the same when comparing him just starting out, and today. I'm not saying he hasn't developed and evolved, I think it shows how instinctually good he was even from the start. His style looks relatively similar from 5 years ago compared to now, where as someone like myself has 2 completely different approaches from when I started compared to now.

If your ankles are to high and/or off to the sides of their hips, it's highly unlikely that the old school figure 4'ing your legs for the ankle lock is accessible. Worst case, you can frame their head away and escape your ankle if it starts to become a problem.
