Fight Tactics

I was thinking of what my first post should be and then I thought, like with anything, start with the basics. Also, since George St. Pierre (14-2-0) is fighting at Matt Hughes (41-5-0) at UFC® 79 Nemesis, why not get him to show a demo?

So George starts in the mount position, he keeps his upper body low and works his knee’s up under his opponents armpit and goes directly into the S-mount. Then George holds his opponents head up as he drives his left foot under the opponents head. This makes it very tight and very hard for the opponent to get out. From this position, George can choke out his opponent, and the only way his opponent can get out his by pushing him back. Which results in Rush taking his arm and leaning forward for the armbar. George mentions that leaning back will be a mistake and you should lean forward to finish the submission because the gravity is causing the joint to go down and as a result he gets a tap.
