Out fight with range-y kicks and the long guard to keep you out of the pocket. Focus on hitting the body with teeps and the lead side kick, also chopping at the lead leg and calf. All a means of frustrating you into rushing in to hit while sapping stamina. Meet your forward pressure by crashing into the clinch to smother strikes and initiate grappling. Dirty box to trip takedown or looking to find elbows/post and sneak head kick over shoulder from clinch break. On the ground work towards half guard or side control -> crucifix. Smash in elbows and threaten the submission if you try to cover up (d’arce choke and americana respectively)
