De La Riva Guard Pass Variation by Hugging Leg on Bottom to Side Control (Advanced)

Professor Lucas Lepri teaches a variation of a guard pass that involves hugging the leg by falling to the mat. The opponent has the De La Riva guard and Lucas immediately pushes both legs down. As the opponent reacts by lifting his top leg, Lucas dives under the leg and uses his arm over the thigh and grips the pants. When he starts to come up, Lucas reaches over and grips the cross collar. Lucas starts applying pressure and once the opponent is flat, he moves to the side control.
