It was nice to see Roger hop guard wasn’t it. It takes all the “sissy” out of it. If its good enough for a winner like Roger its ok with me too.

I loved watching that fight. Everyone knows Roger’s modus operandi from the last Mundials – pass, mount-choke, so they were all wary of this. What they did not realise was that he has a very good guard game too. In fact he showed us precisely what he was going to work on during his charity seminar (http://meerkat69.blogspot.com/2010/02/roger-gracie-academy-charity-seminar.html).

There is so much chatter about how you need judo for this and that, and I largely agree, but I now will not feel too bad when I pull guard in tournaments – cos that’s what Roger does!

Looked like a collar choke from the back, probably thumb in. I liked Roger’s take down as well as Bastos’s fireman’s carry. cool stuff
