Colby Covington recently dusted off his submission skills for an unusual video, featuring rapper Lil Pump.
Despite Covington’s last submission win in the UFC coming in 2016 with a Rear Naked Choke against Jonathan Meunier, he reused the move for Lil Pump – who wanted to experience being choked out by a professional fighter.
In the video, Covington applies the choke with a Gable Grip at first.
However, Lil Pump mistakenly taps on his own chest instead of Covington’s arm to signal he’s had enough.
So, to ensure the submission is tight, Covington switches to a more traditional Rear Naked Choke.
Moments later, the rapper passes out, and Covington releases the hold – realizing Lil Pump has gone unconscious.
After a brief moment of confusion, Lil Pump regains consciousness, smiling once he realizes what happened.
Here’s what he had to share via social media:
Don’t miss my next kick stream It’s getting crazier by the day.
Don’t try this at home. I got put to sleep.
