Two members of the first family of Brazilian jiu jitsu, Ryron Gracie and Rener Graice, have produced this excellent instructional video showing the jiu jitsu techniques that Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva used to dominate Fedor Emelianenko on the ground during the second round of Saturday night’s fight.
The whole thing is worth watching, but it’s especially interesting to hear the Gracie brothers comment on a technique that seems like something out of a street brawl but was in reality an intelligent, tactical mixed martial arts maneuver employed by Silva: Grabbing Fedor by the throat.
