  • This is the same Vinny that was on the Ultimate Fighter yes. It is the same Vinny that fights at LHW ( he walks around at 235 lbs). The other V Magalhaes aka Drac teaches in Texas and is 39 years young. He is 145lbser and a 4 th degree black belt.

  • @Submissions101 LOL I Live in Texas and I love Drac.. man he is such a technical teacher and wonderful person, its no wonder why such tops guys come from him like Romulo Barral and Samuel Braga!!

  • @SelttikS I have heard many good things about his abilities and style!

  • @Submissions101 Hey Ari, I just bought a new video camera and a tripod, I will shoot some videos and send them to you pretty soon. They should come out pretty good with the new cam. Btw, thanks for posting this video!

  • Nice. One of my faves, learned from our Brown belt. Never knew the name, and Vinny fine tuned it with the wrist grab.

  • 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.

  • @foornaa bump your knee up into the back of his tricep really hard and turn your hips with it a bit

  • 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.
