Oleinik submits Pesta with rare Ezekiel choke
Vine
For most fighters, being mounted by your opponent means that you're in serious trouble.
That wasn't the case for submission expert Aleksei Oleinik. The 19-year MMA veteran recorded his 42nd career win by tapout when he trapped Viktor Pesta in the first successful Ezekiel choke in UFC history on Sunday. You can see that Pesta seemed to have no idea what was coming as Oleinik wrapped him up from bottom position.
As impressive as the move was, it was old hat for Oleinik who has won 10 fights by Ezekiel choke.
