Guard Pull to De La Riva to Overhead Sweep Attempt to De La Riva Sweep (Intermediate)

Professor Lucas Lepri teaches how to get to the mount position, by sweeping the opponent using the de la riva. Lucas and the opponent are standing and Lucas is controlling the collar and the opposite side arm. Lucas pulls guard and immediately goes to the de la riva. He pulls the opponent down to shift the weight forward. In this scenario, the opponent leans back to prevent Lucas from sweeping with the overhead sweep. Lucas instead turns to the side and extends his legs to sweep the opponent over. From here, depending on the reaction he can go for the knee cut pass or get to the mount.
