Claudio Puelles Slick Kneebar Versus Clay Guida

This clip is from a fight between Claudio Puelles and Clay Guida at UFC Fight Night 205. This was Puelles third kneebar in the UFC, successfully setting up the transition from a z-guard/knee shield. For this sequence, the use of frames were key to create and maintain space that allowed him to be offensive. The grappling exchanges leading up to this sequence were fun, with Puelles throwing up armbars, triangles and omoplatas; constantly threatening Guida with offense from his back.
As mentioned prior, anyone who excels at a specifc/niche area should be studied as much knowledge is to be gained, so a future more in-depth study of Puelles kneebar will be in the works.
