Scissor Leg Take Down

Now keep in mind that this move is quite risky and is not for amateurs in MMA at all. It's quick and fancy. Now you and your opponent are standing, and in close with each other. what you are going to do is go in for a lock of the arm, so you are standing almost side by side. At this point what you do is stick your leg that is beside theirs in front of that same leg, and behind their far leg (you want to get in behind the ankle).

Now at this point you should be low and able to touch the mat. Touching the mat is exactly what you want to do at this point quickly, because your hand is going to stabilize your body. This is where it gets tricky. The same leg that you are standing on, you are going to use that leg to put behind the opponent to trip them. Then use your upper body to roll towards the opposite way that your opponent is facing.

Not only will your opponent fall back but their leg will also be right at your chest, and your hands are free for a quick ankle lock submission. Some fighters that are more experienced and highly agile can execute this move without putting their hand on the mat, to stabilize them before the takedown. I recommend practicing this with a sparring partner before ever attempting it in a match.
