Shocking Comeback

           

            Last week I witnessed a shocking win at the MMA arena in Gilbert. My brother T.J. entered a grappling tournament to increase his ground skills for his MMA. As the match started, both T.J and his opponent circled each other. That led to them tying up, taking each other down, as well as them both making many submission attempts. Towards the end of that match my brother got caught in a tight triangle chock while taking his opponent to the ground. Trying to escape, T.J couldn’t get his neck loose to save his life. Being locked around his neck for nearly two minutes, his face started turning bright purple. Twisting and turning only made the lock even tighter and he knew he had to make an abrupt change in his position as soon as possible. Using every little last muscle in his body, T.J miraculously managed to slip out. Quickly after, he caught his opponent’s arm and finished the match off with an arm bar. That was the match of his life and it surely was an amazing thing to watch and as well talk about at the end of the day.
