Hazelett and Karo should be a good fight if Karo’s gotten everything outside of fighting back in order.

Yo
I wonder why more guys don’t go for this submission? I know they risk losing position…but if you fighting for forever to get the RNC and dude is defending…why not?

I’d suggest that it’s probably not commonly taught, which might also explain why Burkman was unable to escape. Considering the position from which Hazelett secured it, I’m not even sure how I would teach it, whereas Toby Imada’s inverted triangle started from him stuffing a single leg.
(Funny thing is, at one point during the beatdown I’m certain Machida actually had Evans in a similar position to how Hazelett had trapped Burkman’s arm before swinging his left leg over Burkman’s back.)
From my own perspective, though quite inexperienced with only a few rollings to my name, I’d be very hesitant to risk such a dominant position as back control. Also, not only am I more familiar with the rear naked choke, I am also more familiar with associated tactics such as trying to imitate BJ Penn’s heel kicking of Kenny Florian; if that’s not effective in breaking the defense, I can just stop kicking and least to secure a body triangle.
