When one arm won't give, go for the other.
That formula served Mukhamed Berkhamov well at Friday's Absolute Championship Berkut 55, where he finished Sharaf Davlatmurodov with a nasty armbar in the second round. Berkhamov had been working to trap Davlatmurodov's left arm in the submission while working from his back, before transitioning to the right and contorting it to leave his foe grimacing and tapping in pain.
Berkhamov's handiwork earned him glowing praise from commentator Frank Mir, one of MMA's greatest heavyweight submission artists.
