Good tips. I have to rewatch those Silva/Franklin fights to see if Rich tried to bring his body into Anderson more.

[Meoff01]

he didnt, Rich looked lost.

[doeiffeo]

is it possible to throw a left or right hook from being in a thai clinch?

[Meoff01]

@ATACXGYMMUAYTHAI well considering the end result, success is not the word I would choose, but I see your point. He survived longer.

[ATACXGYMMUAYTHAI]

@Meoff01 Yes he did...but it was in the rematch far more than in the first fight.Rich thought that in their first fight he--Rich--would have the advantage in the clinch due to Andersson's wiry lean build.But Anderson has incredible strength and power,so Rich turned to a different tactic in their rematch and was more successful.

you should have your opponent with his back to you, and be behind his left shoulder. If he doesnt tap with it standing, you could try dragging him to the ground. But i havent thought that far ahead yet. It was just something we came up with messing around in the gym. Most of the time it seemed to work but may need refining. Id be happy for any feedback whatsoever. Good or Bad. Any trollers who wanna tell me im full of shit, nows your chance.Thanks

your right foot. simultaneously slip your left arm under his left armpit and across his neck on his right side. (try to keep his left arm elevated as much as you can by leaning slighty to your right) You should be able to lock up a triangle on the back right of his neck with yourleft hand gripping your right bicep. tighlty bend your right arm,hand behind his head tuck your head on the outside of your right arm and you shouldbeable to finish it standing.

very good video. Me and a friend train in MMA and have been working on a move where you can escape a thai clinch, but then, if your fast and accurate enough, transition into a kinda standing armtriangle of sorts. Id like to know if anyone else has heard of this or not.

Your partner has you in the clinch, use your right hand and pop his left arm up and over to your left(his right) and back across his neck. Step forward slightly past his central line to take him slightly off balance with ....

good advice. is grabbing a finger on the back of your head an option in street fight scenario

[Gbert90]

@Noyjeetut @Meoff01 If you guys notice, Anderson always tricks his opponents into throwing wild punches. He then reacts smartly by throwing accurate deadly combos of his own to daze them. THEN follows up by the clinch and knees. So he tricks, dazes and finishes. Works ever single time. (Except on GSP. That man plays smart and safe).
