Observations:
- Notice the open-hand striking! Me likes that.
- How quickly Shamrock sinks in the kneebar, and how Bas has no choice but to tap, and quick! Excellent transition from the half-guard to the bar. Devastating.
For more on the kneebar, the always excellent GrappleArts.

ReplyDeleteExcellent video of two fighters who were amongst the most respected while in their primes and who are today living legends. One thing that I picked up on though was when Shamrock went to apply the kneebar, Bas’s defense was to lock his own ankles to deter the kneebar. This only worked temporarily but it did delay the full application of the kneebar for a little bit and against someone who was slower and weaker than Shamrock it may have given Bas time to fully counter. Good stuff.
