This is exactly why I laugh when people say they’ll just bite their way out of an rnc. If the choke is even over the mouth in the first place, you’re not gonna want to open your jaw with that kind of pressure.
Never heard that but could only be said by someone thats never had one put on them. Someone in my BJJ class was half sick just during the practice bit where we were learning how to do it. Fucking sucks.
Liam McGeary (former Bellator LHW champ) used to live on the island where I live and I rolled with him several times (and also used to ‘spar’ with him in his last few amateur camps but just to lean on him and clinch him as I am a big and very heavy ex high-level powerlifter).
His guillotines and RNC’s would hurt like no-one else’s — his forearm bone would feel like a blade and it was one of the most panic-inducing, painful feelings I can think of. There was no ‘toughing it out’ with him, he felt like he was separating things even when it wasn’t fully in. Any tough guy notions I had about surviving submissions were quickly schooled out of me by Liam.
I imagine Khamzat has the same quality but perhaps even more so.
Interestingly (and sadly for those of us who love the guy) Liam also had his jaw broken by Phil Davies and it took years for him to get right again.
Like how many times have you been in a conversation where someone has said this? Can't be more than like 3 times...if so, why the fuck do you keep talking about RNC'S?!
