The hip thrust to standing back control results in which headlock?

Explanation:
The idea being tested is how the body position changes when you move from standing back control into a lock around the head. A hip thrust from that back-control stance leverages your hips to pivot under the opponent and bring your torso to their front. In that orientation, one arm wraps around the front of their head while your chest and grip hold behind the neck, creating a control from the front—the front headlock. If you ended up behind the head, it would be a rear headlock; moving to the side would be a standing side headlock; wrapping around the torso would be a bear hug. So the resulting control is a front headlock.
