    I have known this for some time now great video though.

    Everybody he faces knows exactly what he wants to do—and yet they still can’t stop him.

    Cool to see Stephan Kesting getting some credits!

    Marcelo gets under the chin just fine, i'd rather fight like him so I don't have to worry about paralyzing my opponents

    Some more details on RNC:
    1. Someone already posted the Braulio Estima video.
    2. Martin Aedma has great details (he has an awesome channel!): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ghz-XYziSG4
    3. Have you even seen Fedor giving tips on RNC? Basically you use your thumbs (between first and second phalanges) and start from below the ears and go under the chin. Even if the chin is tucked, the guy will have to raise it just enough to get your fingers/fists in. Then depending on the way the opponent defends, you choose which hand to give to your opponent and with which to go under the other and actually choke the guy. I hope you understood my explanation. If you really need it for video, I could perhaps find it.

    the way he could tap out condit so easily only makes rory's win over maia so much more impressive…

  8. JudoMateo says

    August 30, 2016 at 4:27 pm

    BJJ scout I love you and have always been on your side! I truly implore you to take this "donut licking", unappreciative, American hating, brat's music off and replace it with whatever you like.

  9. BlueEyedBuckeye says

    August 30, 2016 at 5:17 pm

    great now all the white belts are going to try to neck crank and break eachother's jaws

  10. joeform103 says

    August 31, 2016 at 1:12 am

    crank, "safe choke", or……windpipe jaw choke https://youtu.be/V6LFkdeSox0

    This is fucking Bullshit Condit won that fight he beat maia rd 2,4, and 5. Fucking stupid ass judges robbing him twice in a row.

  12. gino laurenzo says

    August 31, 2016 at 10:25 pm

    Neck crank is spine attack and technically illegal in mma. But good stuff thank you

  13. Pandaplutten says

    September 1, 2016 at 10:12 am

    BJJ has no age limit…Maia is my hero! He deserves a new shot at a title…but in which weight class would he have the biggest chance?

  14. Professor Buck says

    September 2, 2016 at 4:04 pm

    Amazing break down as always, here is a video of me showing how to squeeze it properly when the chin is in. https://youtu.be/7EN5Gc4jMFI

  15. BlackLotus says

    Maia is beast. His new focused wrestling ability has given such a bigger confidence to play his game by getting the takedown. and defending takedowns. he trains at the edge in hbkn

  16. Shannon Connor says

    September 5, 2016 at 1:53 am

    cranks scare the shit out of me. Ill always happily give up the RNC in return for an undamaged neck and face

  17. Jake shields throwing arm says

    September 5, 2016 at 5:54 pm

    Why would condit switch his stance right in front of maia? god damn it carlos.

  18. Linas Griguola says

    September 7, 2016 at 6:11 pm

    would like to see Vitor Belfor analysis as he goes on his left side against ortodox stance. Cant understand how he does this, and why it works for him

  19. Jonnathan Armijos says

    September 8, 2016 at 12:42 am

    someone actually disliked this video
    how dare they

  20. Jordan Connolly says

    September 9, 2016 at 1:28 pm

    Can you do an Imanari study?

  21. cypresspuz says

    September 12, 2016 at 9:29 pm

    I just subbed. Thanks for the awesome vids man.

  22. artnos says

    September 13, 2016 at 12:14 am

    Im new to the channel did you ever do a maia vs shield analyst?

  23. Compufighter says

    September 13, 2016 at 3:22 pm

    Cool video bjjscout!

  24. Mark Bill says

    September 14, 2016 at 10:42 am

  25. Hana says

    September 17, 2016 at 1:50 am

    wow dude you do such a great job.. thanks for sharing all this

  26. Isaiah Hubert says

    Ate him like a ham sammich!!!

  27. Ricardo Martinez says

    September 24, 2016 at 3:27 am

    Great breakdown. Terrible music.

  28. lukas baral says

    October 19, 2016 at 10:41 am

    I have noticed that carlos' takedown defence is garbage it's at 38-48% max, not saying anything about my boy but still. Maia straight up ran through him after it hit the ground. Are slams to someone on your back illegal in ufc?

  29. J U says

    October 22, 2016 at 3:48 pm

    This Jaw Crank technique is very deadly and like leg locks for white belts should be banned from dojo's especially with white belts a lot of white belts are quiting because of injury's this Jaw Crank doesn't help the growth of bjj but at the same time I believe these kind of techniques should only be taught to RESPONSIBLE Purple belts, there needs to be more responsibility on teaching the masses the deadly, Jaw Crank..

    I saw your Dominic Cruz video on someone else's channel, luckily your logo was still there so I found this channel. Just making my way through all your videos now!

  31. Nicholas Lornadek says

    December 12, 2016 at 7:29 pm

    i would love a video on Saku! big fan of him!

    your series on Maia (and Cruz) are outstanding sir! thanks for the work!

  32. GatsKurokami says

    December 28, 2016 at 6:51 pm

    Can i really jaw crank like that in sport BJJ ?

  33. AndrewJiuJitsu9 says

    February 6, 2017 at 10:56 pm

    what about that body triangle at 1:20

  34. gypshyn says

    February 8, 2017 at 12:16 pm

    I'll take the choke thanks. Getting cranked suuuuuuuucks!

  35. Hairi says

    May 5, 2017 at 8:09 pm

    diaz McGregor 1 when nate already had one hand in and follow up with punches to slide the choke. Most recently dc against rumble. dc lifted rumbles head while the other arm quickly slid in under the chin.

  36. Mitt Nagivag says

    Bunch of sicko meatballs

  37. The Art of Longevity says
