"Before the winning choke, he did a golf club-like swing. You don't see that very often in MMA. Why? Because who would think of going into translation on one leg, but using only the ankle. That's what Makhachev did - nobody does that in MMA. I personally see this in the UFC for the first time. He probably does it regularly in the gym. Maybe he likes this maneuver. He coolly pulled it off when he felt that Porier tired," - quotes Zahabi MMA News.
We will remind, Makhachev "smothered" Puryear in the fifth round of the main fight of UFC 302.
