Marcelo attempts to explain the importance of not telegraphing your true intentions to his training partner, known affectionately as "The Russian", Ruslan Khaskhanov. With the help of our in-house translator, Yakov, Marcelo communicates the idea of diverting your opponent's attention away from a submission with a believable attack, so you can remain a step ahead and surprise him with it. By selling the threat of the pass, he can hide the danger of his leglocks and catch his opponent's off guard. Additionally, Ruslan remarks on how Marcelo seems to be much heavier than he appears. Marcelo explains that this is because he only chooses controls that make his opponent carry all of his weight.
