Blue Belt · The Triangle System
The caption calls it "a very simple transition from arm-bar to triangle." The clip starts with Deivid sitting up holding an armbar on the partner, and ends with the same partner caught in a locked triangle — the armbar is the bait and the start point, the triangle is the finish.
Deivid sits upright with the partner on his back in front of him, the partner's arm trapped across Deivid's legs and held with both hands at the wrist and arm.
Deivid falls back to extend the armbar. The partner turns in toward him instead of giving up the straight arm, which closes the distance the triangle needs.
Deivid throws his legs up around the partner's neck and the trapped arm, locks them together overhead, and pulls the head and his own shin down with his hands to close the triangle.
