[1] The Mendes brothers perfected this standard version, using pure lateral speed and hip-dropping pressure. [1],[2]
Developed within the modern BJJ competition passing evolution. [1]
Used at IBJJF and ADCC competition. [1]

The leg drag controls one of the opponent's legs by pulling it across their body, exposing the back and creating a passing lane. Popularized by the Mendes Brothers and Miyao Brothers in the early 2010s. (BJJ competition records)
Andre Galvao emphasizes that your opponent will use the bottom leg to sweep you, not the top leg, so controlling it is essential to preventing the sweep and maintaining control during the pass.
Andre Galvao recommends passing toward the side of the opponent's back, typically away from the direction they are trying to sweep you, or toward the side where you can get underhooks or overhooks.
Andre Galvao stresses that you cannot let your opponent escape their hips, as this creates space to recover guard; follow their hips if they move and don't change your grip too quickly—only transition to underhooing the arm once they stop moving.
Andre Galvao emphasizes keeping your head low on the opponent's belly rather than high on their chest, as a high head position can allow them to reverse and catch your head.
