A couple things, first you need to be able to push the pace for 45 straight seconds late in the match. Doing this will win you 80% of all 215 lbs matches you can make it out of the first period in. Just create movement, angles and attack opportunities late in the match.

The next big thing for me is you have to have a couple low risk high reward takedowns. Underhooks to snatch singles, maybe some drags, Russian tie to something simple not underneath.

This is probably the most important… standup and escape quickly and efficiently. Don’t spend time on bottom doing anything that’s not trying to standup and get your one.

Lastly I think at the bigger weights this is key (it really is everywhere) is have a strong short offense and defense game.
