At UFC 111 Fabricio Camoes took Kurt Pellegrino’s back, and locked in what appeared to be a definitive rear naked choke. Batman then executed a defense not taught in gi class – he dove forward, with their combined weights driving Camoes straight onto his head. In the next round Pellegrino returned the submission favor, ending it with a 65k winning submission of the night rear naked choke.

“To be honest with you, he was completely knocked out. He froze. I turned around and his eyes were rolled in the back of his head. He was like frozen and stuck on me. When I was able to get around, I thought they were going to stop the fight. When I turned around, he was out. By just me hitting him a little bit, it kind of woke him up.”

“It was the weirdest thing.”
