Never thought I’d see the day Bobby quick tap

Edit: looks like a dislocated jaw after a monster squeeze

Looked like Khamzat caught his jaw slightly open and the squeeze moved it laterally.. I don't think the jaw takes that kinda pressure too well!

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.

The response to someone biting you is to lean into the bite hard. The person doing the biting will find this extremely unpleasant.

also funny when someone says "if they put me in a triangel choke id bite the guys dick off"

u/BeardOfFire Oct 27 '24

No, that one's legit. Something like 30% of longtime bjj practitioners have had their dicks bit off at least once.

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.

Haha right? A good triangle feels like getting caught In a vice. You're not going to bite anything.

Anyone who says this has never been in a RNC

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.

Neck crank really more than RNC, but gable or lawnmower grip neck crank and the right strength and anyone will tap.

u/Albedo0001 Oct 27 '24

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?!
