	Stephan is pinning his opponent in side mount
	Stephan switches his base and faces the legs, maintaining control over his opponent’s upper body.
	He swings his right leg high into the air…
	…and ends up mounted on his opponent.
	Stephan captures his opponent’s right wrist and drives it to the floor, placing his elbow beside his opponent’s ear.
	He applies the figure-4 armlock, dragging the hand along the floor while lifting the elbow up towards the ceiling. Note how Stephan uses his left leg to stabilize his position.
