This is my first post so bear with me, I hope its not as newb as most of them, but I have always been curious as to why I have never seen anyone try this blood "choke" in MMA.
For anyone who isn't familiar, when you are born your heart rate is controlled by a nerve connected to your mothers nervous system through your umbilical cord. After you are born the nerve stays embedded in the body right under (or near) the belly button, and keeps its function!
This is why you see retarded kids getting high by pushing their belly button, what they are really doing is choking themselves out!
It seems to me that if you had a good side control, that one could execute this choke under certain circumstances. 5-10 seconds of hard pressure in the belly button will put most people to sleep. This may also catch seasoned fighters off guard (they may not defend fast enough) because it doesn't hurt while you do it, so people may not get what you are doing until they start feeling dizzy.
Has anyone ever tried this in competition? Does it have a name? Could it work?
Thanks guys!
