Anybody watching the Dunham vs Griffin fight should be glued to the tube and see the importance, relevance, and applicability of the Back Mount Escape Series and the Rear Arm Trap.

AWESOME!

Yeah naturalbornfighter1, that was pretty bad.  I didn't even bother putting my predictions up, I would have had more or less identical picks.  I'm horrible at predicting fights.

Dude, Griffin practically went for the Shin Lock, Reverse Heel Lock and Step Over Ankle Crank.  He just didn't know that they were there.  But his hands and positioning were pretty much doing it.  Now you guys know how sneaky those little locks can be.  The cool thing is that it was  a perfect case study in when you should use those techniques.  Griffin did everything in his power to escape and couldn't.  The first time his back was taken, it was toward the bottom half of the round.  Had he escaped there wasn't a lot he could have done anyway.  Why the Hell not go for the counter series vs the escape series in that situation?

I don't mean to be a Monday night Arm Chair Cage Fighter but it was a beautiful example of the importance of that series.

Conveniently, the Body Anaconda was also a factor in the fight.  I'm putting up those counters as part of the Back Mount Escape and Counter Series as I type.
