Wrestling champion Kyle Dake had an unfortunate last week during the Gold medal match at the freestyle world cup, Azerbaijan’s Hasanov applied a front headlock that then transitioned into a choke. Dake actually tapped out from the pressure and the referee had to halt the match.
Dake eventually went on to win the match and the gold medal.
This move is known as the ‘Dave Schultz front headlock’ and is used as a control and can also be a deep choke. The move is similar to a reverse head and arm choke and in BJJ/Grappling is known as a modified anaconda choke.
In the UFC, Matt Hughes choked out BJJ black belt Ricardo Almeida at UFC 117 with the same move.
