Giorgio Petrosyan Breakdown: Lead-Hand Control


Hello UG! Just completed another video breakdown. Due to several requests, this time it's about a southpaw vs. orthodox matchup, which is completely different from orthodox vs. orthodox.

With an unrivalled kickboxing win-streak, Giorgio Petrosyan is just so technically sound. This breakdown introduces important southpaw vs. orthodox principles. Some draw on big MMA fights, such as the rear-kick to inside of lead-leg (Anderson Silva vs. Weidman), and punishing the switch-kick to outside of lead-leg (GSP to Johny Hendricks).

In addition, it highlights lead-hand control, rear-thigh kicks, and rear knees.

Hope you enjoy it!

forcing slips and feints off your jab is a good way to set head kicks up.

There are a few more videos that appeared on the UG, but it's probably easier to go to the channel instead https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9tDOUA6AnQ7LNe3b70QwKA

As for southpaw vs. orthodox head kicks, this is a masterful setup by Orono: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iG_GZwjIc2Y

Lyoto Machida, GSP, Donald Cerrone, Anthony Pettis all have used this setup successfully.

Forcing slips and attacking right after is another ; clinch exit with a push is very popular. Attacking with a hook, forcing the lean back into a long-range head-kick is also effective.

Fantastic breakdown, very accurate.

mongrel 911 - Thanks for the vids! I love the Ernesto Hoost low kick breakdown.

Thanks bud! Joe Rogan inspired me to do it. I wrote an article about Hoost's low-kick and tweeted it to Joe. He gave me incredible feedback and I decided that a video ought to be made.

The reception for that video was surprisingly good, so I kept going. Since then, countless coaches and athletes gave me props. It's been an incredible journey so far and I'm grateful =).

Great Video!  Any way you can tell me what the background music of the first half of the video was?
