You don't want to miss this exclusive interview as Imes discusses the move that put him in the record books and speaks candidly about the rumors of him facing Brock Lesnar, Tim Sylvia's win over Brando Vera, Randy Couture's resignation from the UFC, his thoughts on Kimbo Slice and much, much more. Check it out! PC: Congratulations on your win over Bo Cantrell. BI: Thank you! PC: I know you said you are just trying to have fun in these fights now, but 2 gogoplata's in 2 fights man? Damn! BI: (laughing) This last one I didn't know what I was doing and I was kind of laughing to myself, like you gotta be kidding me. It's getting ridiculous now.

2007-09-30 19:27:00 I finally got asked what a "Gogoplata" was, so here's the video, via Submissions101.comA Gogoplata is basically an air choke using your shin and control of your opponent's head. And I agree with most; it's a spectacular, rare choke to see in MMA- unfortunately, your flexibility and sense of timing probably is not on the level to pull it off regularly.As shown by the video, the most common variation I've seen is where you start it off like a kimura/triangle by pushing an arm back, but instead of swinging your other arm over or bringing your leg over that arm, you shoot your leg up, and wedge your shin under his chin and over his shoulder.If you can pull this choke off under pressure... wow. You should try to qualify for Abu Dhabi.-y |
