This is the second straight sensational submission for Mokhtarian. Just over a month ago, he finished Wajana Kiew-on with a nearly-incomprehensible maneuver that was best described as a “Teepee choke”.

If Mokhtarian keeps this up, he could be joining his brother Ashkan on the UFC roster soon enough.
