#3 Von Flue choke

The Von Flue choke is a very deceptive submission and in the right hands, an excellent counter to the guillotine choke. First pulled off by its originator, Jason Von Flue when he slept Alex Karalexis at Ultimate Fight Night 3, the Von Flue choke is basically a shoudler choke from side control.

When an opponent refuses to let go of a guillotine choke, the fighter on top presses their shoulder onto the carotid artery, gradually cutting off the blood supply. The most well-known exponent of this technique is UFC Light Heavyweight Ovince Saint Preux, who has 3 wins via Von Flue choke, which is more than Jason Von Flue himself! The former title challenger will face Ilir Latifi on February 24th at UFC on Fox 28.
