I think the explosion up is a great idea. Things have changed since Royce used bjj in UFC 1. Nowadays the guard seems mostly a failure in mma with the advent of gnp and guard-aware wrestling with certain exceptions of outstanding submission skills against total crap submission skills.
Sanchez may have been able to shove Guida off like this. He had his feet controlling Guida's hips in an open guard a lot. His sub attempts didn't work and expended a lot of energy though his elbows from his back were good. However his standup was working much better so why not try to go back to standing.
