I don't think a pitbull physically cannot be strangled. Anything can be strangled with enough compression and/or leverage. I contend that the idea that anybody will be able to get into the body position required to do so effectively is ridiculous because, as was pointed out before, long before a human is able to "mount" the dog and correctly apply the hold you refer to, the dog will have begun removing important portions of their anatomy: probably beginning with the side of the human's face which is closest to their own teeth. The position required for a from-behind or figure-4 chokehold put the strangler's face well within the ability of a dog to grab, and shred. Walt having seen (and caused) this to happen, I take his word. Moreover, your suggested google search brings up nothing relevant to this discussion, just some information on various MMA competitors.
For the record: Walt is not just some internet schlub bragging about credentials that I cannot verify. He and I are flesh-and-blood shooting/drinking/camping buddies, and I have seen both the documentation and the dogs which prove his bona fides. -That- is why I take his word: because I have verified him to be an expert on the matter at hand, trained and employed by an extremely demanding agency (the US Army) to train and deploy dangerous animals both as law-enforcement tools and as weapons.
