It’s been only a week since Khabib Nurmagomedov’s protege Islam Makhachev dethroned Charles Oliveira at UFC 280 to become the new lightweight king. Coach Khabib and Makhachev were very adamant about submitting the best submission artist in the history of the promotion and they very well did so.

Islam Makhachev took only less than two rounds to end Oliveira’s reign in the main event last week. A huge right hand to knock down the Brazilian was followed by an impressive arm triangle that even a specialist like “Do Bronx” couldn’t get out of. A recent video on the internet, however, shows Coach Khabib explaining an easy hack to escape from that deadly choke.
