Love this sweep. Tried it once - pulled it of once. And oh my god! I did it against a blue belt! (I'm a white belt).

[@theitman101]

I use the same sweeo except i use an underhook instead of my hand on his neck.

[@Madmac79]

what strikes me of marcelo is that he point his toe to the ground AFTER he sweep the guy, so somehow it's different from the basic bg sweep commonly taught. It seems he got a so advanced hip core movement that he dosen't even need the toe help!

3:45👍

So the butterfly hook sweep has many variational details that power the sweep. The hook isnt really needed but the power to roll over the shoulder with the toe power generated foot

[@mijalibarbagallo4124]

Marcelo es una V….. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@ALustyArgonian]

@sigmapiguy09 Perhaps the fact that he tapped Diego Sanchez, Jake Shields, George Sotiropoulous etc...

[@bracacar5955]

He tapped everyone! GOAT!!!

[@ime90]

@extrememma4535 if i were 100 miles within the vicinity of the school, i would come... it would be a dream come true, but unfortunately i live around 9000 miles from there :(

[@smooth8steve]

what kind of grip is he using for the choke?

[@MatChronicles]

Why doesn't he post with a hand when getting into the guard?? Couldn't he be muscled to his back?

[@Kimuraking]

Because hes not getting into guard hes getting into butterfly guard. If hes in butterfly and someone drives forward they are driving right into a sweep

[@ime90]

@arabboxer21 it wouldnt matter :D

[@anon4096]

was it meant to be expert and not excerpt?

[@jetorresmd]

yeah...he tapped Diego....

[@dearozero]

who cares. mg is so good....

[@MichaelBrown-hc6iu]

Im actually really frustrated by this atm. Everyone including marcello, glosses over the grip fighting. 0:25 "I concentrate on his hands, and then . . ." They grab your wrists, they dont just let you do that. Its really screwing me up. If you cant get grips, you cant play butterfly.

[@chrisdrugsrbadmkaydavis3164]

Marcelo Garcia owned stoner Eddie bravo who beat gracie . Thats who.

[@sigmapiguy09]

marcello garcia got owned in mma, who cares that he has a badass butterfly guard

[@VanillaBeanBunny]

Anyone learning butterfly guard (would care). #youwinoryoulearn

[@brendon2462]

He didn't exactly get owned he was winning the grappling. He probably should of tried other submissions. Because he wasn't able to get the rnc. Because he wasn't used to the gloves. They seemed to get in his way. Also he struggled to get it to the ground. His MMA wrestling needs some work. But it only got stopped on cuts not so bad a loss.
