Why the change in Spenser Mango's Tactics?

Why the change in tactics?

He has one of the best lifts on the planets, and suddenly a front headlock is his primary move off the clinch?

Anybody have any clue why the switch in tactics?

Personally, Mango should have gone lift - no lift - chest lock.

Yikes. By the by, I called it in his first match, too. I knew it would cost him against the Korean, who has an excellent stand up.

i didn't see the match but most guys go over the head to keep the bottom guy from getting out.

Two things...

BOTH of his opponents got away on his attempt to step in front!!

You want the bottom guy to stay down, CRASH down.
