They do some things more. A lot more Straight Ankle Locks, Toeholds, Kneebars, and things like that.<br \/>\nNot as many Heel Hooks, but they do dabble with them. So I\u2019m very excited to see what he throws at me.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  id=\"_ytid_25332\"  width=\"696\" height=\"391\"  data-origwidth=\"696\" data-origheight=\"391\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LgM3u6Y2FmA?enablejsapi=1&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;modestbranding=0&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>He went on to claim that his Heel Hook defense is so good, that even\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bjjee.com\/?s=gordon+ryan\">Gordon Ryan<\/a>\u00a0wouldn\u2019t be able to tap him out with the submission:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I\u2019m very confident in my Leg Locks and my counter abilities, and I don\u2019t think anyone can really Leg Lock us [him and his brother, Tye Ruotolo] out there. At least Heel Hook us out there, for sure.<\/p>\n<p>You know, even if I were to roll with Gordon [Ryan], I don\u2019t think he can Heel Hook me.
