I love this guy he is awesome to watch… His moves are so fluid & smooth….
Vinny is so technical and smooth
I think you want to control that right wrist so you can move it out for an omaplata or triangle choke
The toughest part is the leg that's NOT going upinto the shoulder. People catch me woth the knee cutter pass all the time
Great explanation tx!
Best grappler pound for pound. Also my instructor..
I can always do this technique in training correctly but struggle in sparring, kind of frustrating.
@alphabetazulu okay i'll give it a try, i think i was tryin to use my shin more than anything but had no power.
he pulls this off in this fight at 3:30

Does grabbing the wrist make a big difference?
This sweep is super effective, I hit it almost every time i try…BUT i can never get that leg over the shoulder into high guard, his arm is always posted on the ground so firmly!! Any suggestions??
@SelttikS Thanks!
Very smooth technique shown here.
@SelttikS This Drac fellow? Or maybe it's an organization?
Damn this sweep is sick.
Vinny does what appears to be some EXCELLENT instruction.
@SelttikS what city is it in?
@SelttikS I have heard many good things about his abilities and style!
