ARMBAR Cobrinha dances into knee on belly and spins behind when they turn in, takes the kimura grip for an armbar.
OMOPLATA Very mean omoplata where he pulls the far foot all the way behind the head.
REAR COLLAR CHOKE Double lapel choke after some work.

CRUCIFIX ARMLOCK / CHOKE by Marcelo.
CRUCIFIX ARMLOCK Marcelo traps the arm for the crucifix from top of turtle, then gets a belly down armlock with it.
ARMBAR Mario Reis gets a kimura grip from north-south and switched to the armbar.
AMERICANA from side control.
CROSS COLLAR CHOKE from mount.
TRIANGLE Lavato Jr. jumps into a triangle when his opponent tries to stand up with a sweep from half guard.
BRABO CHOKE WITH LAPEL Lavato Jr. pulls the lapel around to pass half guard. He keeps it in knee-on-belly and finishes the brabo by crossing their arm and pressing his chest to it.
BRABO CHOKE WITH LAPEL Lavato Jr. gets the brabo choke from knee-on-belly and hangs on to it even when they stand up. He falls down with the choke to make it even tighter but ends up on top again when they try to roll.
NORTH-SOUTH CHOKE
CLOCK CHOKE
15:00
COLLAR CHOKE Robson Moura gets a collar choke by trapping the arm with his leg and circling all the way around north-south. Unclear what grip he used.
BICEPS SLICER from top of side control. The guy on bottom has his arm in a position that people often try to use to escape knee-on-belly.
ANKLELOCK? The top fighter is in the middle of passing guard with his knee in. He grabs the heel of a foot that has a butterfly hook and turns it against his body for a tap. It looks like the heelhook where you reach down between your legs to counter leglocks, but he didn’t get DQ’d so I guess not.
REAR COLLAR CHOKE Saulo takes the back from top of turtle and gets a double lapel choke.
ARMBAR Saulo gets a farside spinning armbar from knee-on-belly.
REAR COLLAR CHOKE They get the collar grip from rear mount but ultimately finish it from side control like a loop choke of sorts as the opponent escapes the hooks.
ARMBAR Spinning armbar from knee-onn-belly.
REAR COLLAR CHOKE Tiago Alves literally hangs on the rear of turtle with his legs out in the air, then leaps forward over them to roll them into a rear collar choke with no hooks in.
TOEHOLD Alves grabs a toehold while in a mess of tangled legs in open guard.
LAPEL CHOKE Abmar Barbosa passes both his own and his opponent’s lapels around from mount before wrapping his around the neck a bunch and winning with that.
LAPEL CHOKE from side control using your own lapel like Jacare made famous.
ARMBAR as they are being bridged out of mount.
