“If you understand wrestling and jiu-jitsu and know how to defend yourself, it’s a completely different game. Choking someone is very difficult, especially when you are training with high level fighters. To strangle him, you need to beat him for 15-20 minutes, and then, when he gets tired, you can finish him off. In the first two rounds, it is almost impossible to choke out high-quality fighters.
My goal is to knock him out in the first round to show everyone that I deserve a fight with the champion,” MMA Junkie quotes Tsarukyan.
