HAHAHAHA. This reminds me of the first triangle choke I got in. Saw the triange coming, thought I was good to go, then suddenly I didn't have my arm where I wanted it anymore and I was not breathing. Stayed calm, collected, trying to turn and create enough distance to slip out or slip my other arm in there... and then about 10 seconds later, lights out. Whoops.

I find the ground game is the most exciting part of MMA for me, but I can't respect strictly groundfighting simply because punching someone in the face should be one of your options for preventing\getting out of a submission, damnit.
