Headlining the three-world title fight card is UFC World Light Heavyweight Champion Tito Ortiz, of Huntington Beach, Calif., defending his crown for the fourth time when he takes on Vladimir Matyushenko, of Los Angeles, Calif. Ortiz was scheduled to face 23-year-old Vitor Belfort until the challenger suffered a partially lacerated tricep during training that required 30 stitches.

Picture 1: Bas Rutten secures Matt in the head and arm position making sure to hold Matt’s elbow and grasp his hand under his own hamstring. |
 |
Picture 2: Bas lets go of Matt’s elbow and quickly hooks Matt’s near leg. |
 |
Picture 3: Bas then hooks his hand inside of his own thigh. |
 |
Picture 4: Bas then keeps hold of his legs while squeezing his knees together causing pressure on the chest and neck which makes breathing difficult. |

Bas used this technique to submit Shibuya in a Pancrase match and adds that it is best used when your opponent is tired or breathing heavy. Technique and explanation by Bas Rutten. Bas is the former King of Pancrase and UFC heavyweight champion, now enjoying a successful career in acting.
