Something that could of had a devastating outcome on the fight last night between Aleksei Olienik vs Maurice Greene was the method with which Olienik tried to apply pressure from the scarf hold position, one of his favored methods of finishing. The way that he held the position forced him to rely on pulling up with his arms to apply pressure which dramatically fatigued him and which also meant he couldn't apply continuous pressure to get the tap. Here's the video I promised which covers some of the details of the scarf position which makes holding and finishing much more efficient.
If you want more details on one of the most powerful and underrated positions in Jiu-Jitsu check out my course on the scarf hold position aka "The Soul Stealer" one of the only positions that is also a submission.
