From the top position in MMA, the objective is to mix in ground and pound attacks with submissions. From inside the opponent’s guard, you can use punches and elbow strikes to cause significant damage. However, you must also be aware of your opponent’s submission opportunities and how to properly defend against them. In this video, UFC top contender Rafael dos Anjos teaches an excellent closed guard defense to the omoplata and triangle lock finish.
