Cesar has an amazing butterfly guard, so we will take a look at some of his techniques today. Cesar has a very good way of dealing with the under hook.

Casamajo starts off by pulling his opponent into an over hook, controlling his back and basing with his opposite hand and elbow. By grabbing the belt and trapping the wrist Casamajo sets himself up for the sweep. Using momentum he rolls Bernardo over his shoulder, using his butterfly hook, as well as pulling him with the belt. What is cool about this sweep is that it puts you in top side control, perfect for knee on belly, mount or finishing with an arm lock submission. Awesome stuff!
