Hazmat targeted the teeth

[Pequeño Corey]

Yea no coach ever taught me to target the teeth. I was typical BJJ lineage where we fish under the chin. Never learned good face crank technique. I’m pretty sure that’s something hazmat meant to do. Makes sense. Get a good position and crush the mouthpiece with everything you got. I won’t even call it “cheap” or “unsportsmanlike”, but damn it’s not something I’d do to my teammate.

Am I delusional in my cope? Or am I on to something? Any grapplers recognize this as as a technique? Or was it dumb luck that hazmat pushed Bobby’s teeth out?

I don't think he targeted the teeth because of whittaker's injury, I doubt he even knew about it, he always goes for face cranks and he used it against Usman too. It was somewhat lucky that khamzat broke rob's teeth but I think rob would have lost either way, whittaker himself admitted he doesn't know if he would have gotten out of the crank even if he didn't have an injury and he was getting treated like a prelim fighter the whole round

Khabib vs Conor?

 

[KID Yamamoto]

Seemed move like he went for a quick snappy RNC and it just happened to land on the teeth.

Yea man I wasn’t even considering the tooth excuse that Bobby threw out there. I don’t even believe it tbh. I just think that cranking on the mouth is a gnarly technique that I was unaware of. I always thought that face cranks targeted the jaw, but this is some next level shit I never learned.

Khabib vs Conor?

Yea this one seems to be more a “traditional” crank on the jaw. I’m wondering if positioning the radius of your forearm across the mouth so it exerts pressure on the teeth is something that can be done intentionally.

Neck & Jaw cranks are common catch wrestling practices... The not so gentle art

Nah, you're probably on to something. He's probably been taught all types of semi-torture techniques from nefarious sources. No wonder he can't get a work visa in Western countries.

Crank the teeth? Never thought of it as something to target. I’m tellin you brazza, I think it might be a thing.

Bro this the shit they teach in Chechnya. Crush the teeth brazza.

If the have bad teeth punish them

That's a myth. He's fought several times in the USA and has said he has no issues. I mean, that's all we have to go on

 

[pamirec]

Khamzat tried the same crank on Usman, but it didn’t work. Don’t think he knew anything about Rob’s weak teeth.

 

[Battlebot]

It's dental!

 

[Neck&Neck]

Bro got lucky
Fresh Veneers Bobby would of survived that and smoked him in the 2nd round

You don’t believe he had and childhood tooth injury? How do you think his front teeth caved in???

There's a level of respect and not wanting to injure one's training partners in bjj. 20 years ago Brazilians would have a sissy fit if you even went for a leg lock.

That being said face cranks have become an important part of breaking stale mates and should be taught.

Whittaker himself said he doesn't know if he would have got out of the choke regardless of bad teeth in the red corner mma interview, khamzat didn't have his 2nd hook but the cage was there so I don't think whittaker could turn out of the choke and survive like some say. It was still a shitty performance by rob though, he had 2 training camps and couldn't stop a takedown to save his life

Round 2 would had been more of the same until Khamzat found a finish. No way Rob would be fresher than Khamzat in the 2nd round considering he had to carry his weight etc.
