  1. Is it a running gag that I don't know about that every time I see Craig rolling in any gym, I hear "Men at work " playing in the background? Because if it is, it's awesome

  2. He is rolling with a guy wearing a mask… Can anyone see how this is ridiculous? I would rip that f*&$ing thing off and say "SUBMIT!" Are you really more scared of coronavirus than a stranglehold? Get off the mat then!

  3. some interesting moments annotated (i'm just a novice and some of these may have names, but i can only describe their mechanics)

    0:30 – Craig gets to a guillotine by rolling the opponent over him, turning upside down to grab it and then having them rotate into it as they try to recover and drive into him.

    5:50 – everybody talks about Mighty Mouse tossing a guy and catching an armbar on the way down. But this is actually on a new level: kickflip him and catch the armbar.

    *pause at 7:50 – very interesting defense by the opponent, they convert what could've been a triangle into just a squeeze on their head by trapping the arm so it's all connected from Craig's right leg through their head, into Craig's right arm, into the opponent left arm, and into Craig's left leg. It can't get to the neck because of the way Craig's right arm is pressed against the face.

    9:52 – Craig knows the opponent wants to drive forward while Craig's angled to their left. He gets the hook in the leg and doesn't allow them to land on top so the moment they land sideways he kicks out with the hooked leg to rotate over into top.

    10:08 – having gained side control, Craig snaked his left hand under to grab a funky kimura, which actually works so long as he then maintains a certain position, since the tricep extension of his arm going down to twist the kimura is stronger than the arm's ability to resist the rotation.

    11:10 – Craig repeatedly makes the opponent carry his whole weight on his arms til they mechanically fail due to the angle and weight, and then says "this guy's gotta do bench press!"

    14:34 – Craig applies momentary pressure from the mount with his arm behind the opponent's head while noticing they want to escape to their left. he removes everything as though he had failed to set up a submission he had planned, and they immediately move toward their intention; he uses this asymettry of their upper body to rearrange his base and roll backward and away, yanking their neck toward him and taking the back.

    17:11 – Craig doesn't take a RNC – i wonder if it's cause he's being chill or is there some reason why it doesn't work well to take one from there?

    18:20 – Craig cover's the opponent's mouth as a joke, ahahhaha
