Knee Cut Pass Defense to Monoplata Submission (Advanced)

Professor Lucas Lepri shows how to get the Monoplata submission after defending a knee cut pass attempt from the opponent. The opponent goes for a knee cut pass and Lucas defends it using the reverse de la riva followed by a knee shield. The opponent tries to defend by reaching for Lucas’ back and tries to smash his legs. Lucas then defends by hooking the ankle with his own and pushes the opponent away. The opponent posts and Lucas immediately pinches his knees together over the opponent’s shoulder. The opponent starts to turn to defend and Lucas just rolls with him. After they roll, Lucas locks his feet together and goes for the Monoplata submission.
