De La Riva Guard Pull to Overhead Sweep and Armbar (Intermediate)

Professor Lucas Lepri shows how to pull De La Riva guard, sweep the opponent, and finish with an armbar submission. Lucas begins standing with a grip on the collar and another on the opponent's sleeve near the elbow. As Lucas pulls De La Riva guard, the opponent opens his knee and prevents Lucas from getting a good angle. Lucas immediately pulls the opponent forward and lifts with his legs to execute the overhead sweep. When the opponent's back hits the mat, Lucas establishes the s-mount while maintaining control of the opponent's collar and arm. He then finishes with the armbar submission by passing his leg over the opponent's face, pinching his knees together, and switching his grip to the wrist to apply leverage.
