Submission Win of the Night Series: Arm-Triangle Choke from Brock Lesnar
At UFC 116, Brock Lesnar showed an evolving skillset to his already superior and powerful collegiate wrestling skills. He has been working hard on specific catch wrestling and submission holds, and he put it on display against Shane Carwin.
Lesnar was overmatched by Carwin in the first round. Carwin won the standup aspects of the first round, stunning Lesnar, battering him repeatedly with shots. Lesnar was forced to ball up and protect himself and he eventually did a pretty good job of blocking some of Carwin’s punches. It’s being reported that Carwin threw over 60 punches in round one via the standup game and ground & pound. That’s a huge amount of punches, especially for a heavyweight who carries such heavy muscles.
In this video below, you’ll see how the arm-triangle choke is applied to one’s opponent. It is exactly how Brock Lesnar caught Shane Carwin in this submission hold early in round 2.
