Knee Cut Pass when Opponent Under Hooks Variation 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. In this scenario, Lucas also under hooks the opponent. He applies pressure to make the opponent go flat on the mat. From here, he can get the mount position or side control.
