Thats excatly what it was, its was done Judo style used as a turnover/sweep to get on top, but he was out before he finsihed the sweep.

Looks like his instinct to keep position is what screwed him. Shoulda dismounted and rolled.

If he wasnt wearing a gi this wouldnt be a problem....

Yeah it was baseball bat choke. Love that choke to defend the pass. Most people turn right into it trying to pass.

+1

you can see his hands on the choke and release the choke around the 48 second mark.

It could have been a baseball choke you can see the one thumb and one set of fingers.

It was incredibly fucking lucky.

Reminds me of that Arnold Palmer quote; something like "...the more I practiced, the luckier I got."
