Knee Cut Pass when Opponent Under Hooks to Mount or Side Control (Intermediate)

Professor Lucas Lepri teaches a technique that he showed at a seminar. Lucas starts to go for the knee cut pass and the opponent tries to defend by under hooking. Lucas immediately responds by gripping the back of the opponent to push them back down. He posts on the mat with his other hand and shifts his hips. From here, Lucas can now go to the mount position or if the opponent tries to escape, he can go to the side control.
