In this lesson we break down Rodolfo's pressure passing with the knee cross or knee slice pass. Rodolfo was able to neutralize Panza's guard with good grips on his leg and threatened Panza multiple times by transitioning from the knee cross to the esgrima pass, buttflop pass, and transition into the mount. Rodolfo utilizes heavy pressure in his passing game and we learn how he chains some of his passes together to make his knee slice pass more deadly.
