Technique of the Week returns with Ben Ordonez and Ed Perdomo to follow up with a second submission option to follow the previous sweep from half guard, this time with a wrist-free version of the Colombian Necktie submission.

This escape is one commonly seen in MMA and no-gi competition, but it often stops at escaping the mount into bottom position half guard where the escapee stops to rest. Here, Ed will flow seamlessly into a bridge sweep that will take advantage of his opponent’s disrupted base and land him on top instead of on the bottom.
