No-Gi Scramble Ends With Overhead Sweep
Two grapplers hit the mat hard in this no-gi scramble. The shirtless athlete in grey trunks has his opponent locked up from behind, lifting the guy in the black rashguard clean off the ground. It's a textbook body lock, and he's hunting for the takedown.
They crash down. The rashguard fighter lands on his shoulders but he's already moving, spinning into guard before his opponent can take his back. Now he's on bottom, legs up, looking for something. The grey trunks grappler stands over him, grabs both ankles, and stacks him hard. This looks like a pass.
But wait. The bottom guy's got grips on the hips. As his legs get pushed overhead, he's not defending. He's setting a trap. His feet come up against his opponent's chest and thighs. The timing has to be perfect here.
He throws the sweep. Can he follow it through and take top position? Or will the scramble reset and give his opponent another chance?
