This is part 2 of a 4pt breakdown. In the middle rounds of this fight rounds get eaten up due to cage control time. Staging positions or stalling positions are important to identify and understand. Knowing how to keep the match moving and not getting stuck in positions is the mark of good grappler.

Another exciting fight with great examples of MMA grappling. In our previous breakdown we talked about "over grappling" and "compartmentalized grappling" we get a clear look at how those mistakes work out vs a more conservative grappler.

A quick breakdown of the grappling exchanges between Volk and Islam. Volk's sound wrestling fundamentals gave Islam problems due to his tendency to hold on to the body lock for too long. This fight is a great example on how to give up your back and hand fight in the cage.
