As a comparatively niche sport, there’s very little in the way of scientific study conducted on Jiu-Jitsu. As time goes on and interest in BJJ grows, we’re starting to see a gradual increase in the number of people interested in the more technical aspects of the sport. Just recently, a group of scientists conducted an experiment to see how long it would take a selection of chokes to put an opponent to sleep.
They decided to look exclusively at chokes that did not require the use of the gi, so their findings are also applicable to MMA, although no gloves were used. They found that each of the chokes examined took a different length of time to put an opponent to sleep, ranging from as little as 6.2 seconds to as much as 10.5. In the end, the difference between chokes was not enough to be significant and the average time overall was registered at 9 seconds.

Raw vegetables are pickled in a cold vinegar-based brine, which keeps them crisp. (These are re

Donald Cerrone has two previous losses against Rafael dos Anjos in the UFC, a decision in 2013 and a TKO loss in 2015. Half a decade later, Cowboy got some of that back with two armbar wins over the former lightweight champion. Well, sort of.
Cerrone and Dos Anjos faced off in a grappling bout at Submission Underground 19, which ended up with a bit of controversy. In overtime, Cowboy locked in an armbar, which RDA looked to have tapped to. He immediately denied it though, claiming it was just a push to defend.
