Craig Jones Analyzes What Led to Submission Win vs Gabriel Arges

Craig Jones scored an impressive submission win over Gabriel Arges at Grapplefest 4, a victory made even more impressive by the fact Jones passed the guard of Arges not once but twice. 

"The IBJJF guys– he's a black belt wolf champion in the gi– those guys generally have really amazing guards. I was thinking I would try out working on some passes, and I passed his guard. 

"I landed a clean pass into the mount at around seven or eight minutes into the match, and I lost that. I think he was anticipating another body lock pass, so as I was entering he remained up on his side. When he's up on his side it makes it harder for me to secure the body lock but being up on his side exposed his back."
