At 3:01, Peña landed four straight jabs that hurt Nunes. Peña then followed with a big, four-punch combination that pushed Nunes back toward the cage. Peña kept throwing punches and Nunes initiated a clinch to slow things down. Peña pushed Nunes against the cage, landed a knee to the body and took Nunes down at 3:15 with a well-executed trip from the bodylock position. Seven seconds later, Peña had Nunes' back with Nunes in a turtle position, and wrapped her left arm across Nunes' neck.

(Coach Rick) Little: "This sounds crazy, but we have a choke we've been working on and I knew if [Nunes] gave up her back, it was going to be a wrap. It's a hybrid rear-naked choke and it cuts your throat, man. It's nasty. It's a nasty windpipe choke. If you're sucking wind, it's bad. It feels like your head is going to pop off. ... We're tearing at the chin and the choke is more elongating the neck than choking the neck. We want forward pressure. The choke was perfect."


You guys can stop bashing Nunes now. It was a nasty new secret choke that no-one can withstand.
 
Was obvious it was an airway compression choke to get the quick tap and from that position.
 
Meh. Not buyin' it.
