Innovative back attack by James Krause that flows into Khabib Nurgomedov ride

Very interesting MMA technique by James Krause in his last fight. If you followed the Khabib ride, this flows very well into that sequence. Krause only has the top hook which is usually the hook with the least amount of control when on the back. The opponent can escape the hips because of a lack of bottom hook control. Krause uses this to quickly attempt a rear naked choke, but once he is unable to execute the choke, his opponent escapes because of this lack of bottom hook. However, his opponent still remains on bottom with Krause on top which is ideal in MMA. One of the biggest issues with taking the back in MMA is losing control and winding up on the bottom. Krause is very innovative in his attack because he is never in danger of losing top position which is ideal. With this position you can also quickly wind up in the Khabib ride as well with the top half guard control which is imperative for position control.
