Fight Video: Shinya Aoki and his triangle choke are still unstoppable

Remember when Shinya Aoki got choked by Mach Sakurai? MiddleEasy remembers. When Shinya Aoki does not have the hands of Mach Sakurai wrapped firmly around his throat, he’s still schooling fools in ONE Championship.

Today (May 18) at ONE Championship Unstoppable Dreams in Singapore, Aoki needed less than one round to dispose of Russian Rasul Yakhyaev. Vintage Aoki things. Just wrapping other fighters trying to punch his head off in very uncomfortable positions; like the back of a Volkswagen.

Let’s watch Aoki choke out his opponent until he barely has enough room to make the tapping motion.
