The BKFC star recently shared a playful poll asking his followers if they wanted to see his wife, Latory Perry, choke him out, with an overwhelming 90 percent voting "yes."
Initially reluctant, Latory finally agreed to do it if the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Buffalo Bills — which happened. True to her word, Latory applied a rear-naked choke on Perry in a video shared online.
