I'm one of the millions who plunks down $44.95 each month for UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) pay-per-views, so if I lose you with my mixed martial arts vernacular, I apologize. But there is a move in MMA called the "rear-naked choke." So far as I know, it's never been performed in the nude, and I can't fathom why someone put the words "rear" and "naked" together in describing the most lethal submission move in the sport.
Nonetheless.
I was put in a rear-naked choke once by a former UFC champion. It wasn't by choice- he just thought I'd find it interesting to know what suffocating felt like. It's a sensation I could live without re-experiencing. Thankfully, he had the common sense to keep me locked up for only 2 seconds. This young reporter was not blessed with such a perceptive interview subject.
But he does recover like a pro.
