so next time don't panic and go on the defense......bodylock get the guy to the ground. then pound away. that mt guy will let go in no time.

Most important thing in maintaining the clinch is to keep your opponent at distance by using you elbows as a barrier to him body locking you. Thats actually what the clinch is best at. The holding of the back of the neck maintains height and control but the elbows in front of his shoulders means he has nowhere to go!
