How to Enter the Clinch Safely in MMA

The clinch is effectively used in MMA to set up dirty boxing, knees, elbows and takedowns.
The most dangerous part of the clinch is the entrance and exit. In this video Coach Roger Krahl shows an entry that will get you into the clinch safely. It begins with a level change and feint. This will get your head off line and help to avoid damage. The clubbing collar tie is made to look like a big left hand. This will get your opponent to defend by raising his hands. While his hands are up preparing to block a punch. You will establish a collar tie and begin to take advantage of the angle made by the level change and feint.

buddy in the back had a long day at work

Rarely really works at high levels, unless he or she has no place to go. If your entering like that in mma the opponent is moving off from you. That collar tie rarely happens in the open, and when you hit it in the corners or cage wall they dip out before you can get in more than one shot.
Might work on an untrained schmoe in the street tho

They'll dip into a knee

[@Ben10Blader]

You're really acting like Charles Oliveira doesn't use techniques like this all the time. Sure, your opponent might be constantly moving away from you, maybe that's not the best time to use this, but you still can by cutting them off using footwork and feints.

[@zoarquail5102]

Agree 100 with you Ben. Its just semantics to say its not technically a collar tie in that case though, its just framing off on angles.
Again, in mma clinches that yield opportunities to damage out in the open are less common. Boxing sure, muay thai, occasionally, anything with take downs? Not as much

[@ChiefTJBallout]

you can set it up though or hit ot during an exchange

[@mohsin7702]

If you're slipping I'm moving out the way so don't even think you can grab a hold of me, I mean this works if you're an absolute beginner or when you're really really fatigued and don't move your feet but by then you'll also be tired so your slip into clinch will be more sloppy
