He seemed worried as he captioned the highlighted article with a “HOLY F**K!?!!“
Masvidal, has been into MMA and UFC for quite a long time now. He had definitely witnessed and also been into rear naked Jiu-Jitsu chokes himself. However, Robertson’s intensity in this choke was genuinely something else, which got this reaction from Masvidal.
What went wrong with Agapova during the submission ?
Maria Agapova dominated the first round as she struck Robertson with a few clean punches and elbows. But, it was in the second round that Robertson slowly started taking control over the fight.
Robertson, clinched her opponent’s back and brought her down to the mat. She choked Agapova’s neck with a strong rear naked Jiu-Jitsu choke. Initially, Agapova hustled to get out of that choke and refused to tap, but after a few seconds it was quite evident that she was nearing a seizure. The commentators went on to say, “She’s not even fighting her hands.”
In the final seconds of the choke, Agapova could be seen biting her tongue to an extent where she might have taken it off as well. The commentators quoted in a concerned tone, “She’s got to be very careful,” and “She’s biting her tongue.”
Agapova was so passed out that she was unable to tap to the choke, while the referee stopped the fight sighting her condition.
With this brutal choke, Gillian Robertson also bagged the record of most submissions by any female in the UFC history.
While one thing is sure that Jorge Masvidal is overwhelmed at this incident. But, it can be debated whether he was concerned about Agapova’s condition or about how good the choke by Robertson was.
