Marcelo shows Johny Hendricks & Marc Laimon several sweeps from a singular lock that was specifically developed against ground-n-pound attacks: If your opponent tries to make space and acquire an upright posture while they are kneeling inside your guard, sit up and follow them up as you latch around their neck from behind with an Under-Hook. Connect your hands together and look to keep them down while you work a better position. The clinch configuration can also be obtained while slipping passed a punch in the context of a mixed martial arts contest. This Under-Hook & Head-Control is also known as a Head-Inside Shoulder-Crunch, Pinch-Headlock w/ Gable-Grip, Reverse-Headlock, High Under-Hook Clinch, et al., and can be implemented from a variety of different styles of guard including Closed, Butterfly, Half, Butterfly/Half, LeBell Guard, and ¾-Guard. Each of these guard positions affords one with a multitude of reversal options such as Short and Long Hook-Sweeps, Bridging Sweeps (e.g. John-Wayne, Tilt, Giggler, Hip-Twist, et al.), Duck-Unders (e.g. Shrugs, Throwbys, Slidebys, Shucks, et al.), and even directly in response to a pass from Side-Control bottom. Keep your Gable-Grip locked around the side of your opponent's neck, and not alongside their back where they can lock around your body in kind. While initially breaking your opponent's posture, you can resort to a Seatbelt-Grip (Ball-n-Socket Grip), however you must transition onto your side and hide your elbow by switching to the Gable-Grip (with the palm of your hidden-elbow's arm facing towards yourself); biomechanically, you will actuate a stronger chain of musculature firing together in unison while simultaneously keeping your elbow tightly defended against your ribcage. When playing the clinch from Closed-Guard, advance towards Butterfly-Guard by interposing LeBell-Guard (Double Grapevines) and stretching your opponent out to make room for your Butterfly-Hooks.
