Dustin's legs were not closed (crossed)
So Khabib's hips where free to move and he got to side control.

For a guillotine to be successful, control of the head and the hips are mandatory. If one controls both the head and the hips then one controls the spine and if one controls the spine then one controls the torso and if one controls the torso then one controls the opponents body

Hope that was helpful sxb

I don't remember Khabib getting to side control in the first sequence (there was a reset somewhere in that sequence).

Also, you don't necessarily have to close or cross your legs to finish a guillotine.

Nate Diaz does a certain kind of guard (forgot the name of it) to finish guillotines.

The pivotal maneuver Khabib did to avoid getting slept was the thing he did where he fell to his hip for some kind of readjustment. That's the insight that would be really interesting here.

It's a very high level grappling technique that's very rare in MMA.

Khabib's submission grappling is top tier. It's incredible.

What Nate did in that fight is rare. Unorthodox techniques can work sometimes

Control of the hips is crucial for a traditional guillotine. Otherwise the opponent's lower body is free to move around

Regarding my forma statements about Khabib taking side control, now I release is wrong

I just rewatched the fight and you're right Khabib swiftly took the back with great elegance. I mistook a part of the transition to be side control Here is a pic

I apologise about that, however in my defense I only watched the fight once when I made those comments and it really seemed like Khabib took side control in the heat of the moment

Who do you guys have Whittaker vs Stlyebender?

Who do you guys have Whittaker vs Stlyebender?

Whittaker survived and won defeated the beast Yoel Romero twice (even though I think he lost the second fight).

The 'New Zealander' ( ) has no punching power even if he did Whittaker has one hell of a chin and absorbed elbows from opponents. Whittaker can dominate on the ground, the 'new Zealander' is an expert in controlling the range.

Interesting fight, but I'm putting my money on Whittaker

 

[Abdalla]

Israel Adesanye is such a classless buffoon. No need to insult a guy you just beat. There wasn't even a bad blood between the two.
