It does seem to be a downward step in the heirarchy of positions.
Perhaps Royler was offering the back (not giving it) as a dummy as part of a setup/combination, or he was going to immediately close down one side to stop the hook from coming in, or perhaps he simply felt that his defence from the back was better than from under Mario's sidemount?
It's difficult to say what he was doing, after all those guys are always thinking two or three moves ahead, and have a much larger repertiore of techniques than yours truly...
