Watch: Fighter scores tapout with rare 'teepee' choke at Australian event
Facebook/Hex Fight Series
Fighters have broken out rarities such as Von Flue and Ezekiel chokes to get the W in 2017, but Suman Mokhtarian outdid them all this past weekend.
The undefeated featherweight and younger brother of UFC flyweight Ashkan Mokhtarian transitioned from a triangle to what can only be described as a "teepee" choke at Rodian Menchavez's expense for a first-round tapout at Hex Fight Series 9 in Melbourne, Australia this past weekend.
A baffled Menchavez can be seen tapping a split second before going limp and venturing into dreamland.
