When starting the fight, Saulo stresses the importance of being patient and not rushing to get the takedown. First engage with your grips, lower your level and keep your stance strong as you back your opponent down. If his opponent is standing strong and he wants to turn him instead, Saulo steps his back leg and pulls with his opposite arm, forcing his opponent to pivot. Using this kind of push, pull and spin tactic, he can dictate where the fight goes.
