Fabrício Werdum demonstrates the triangle choke TOO well

If you spar with a UFC Superstar you’re bound to be unconscious every once in a while.

UFC Heavyweight Fabrício Werdum doesn’t know his own strength, apparently. When it came time to give a live demo of a triangle choke he accidentally rendered his sparring partner unconscious. Like completely out.

Everything is going swimmingly until right around 50 seconds in, when this happened.

Gawd, that reaction.

Do you think the school gives you a shirt or something if you’re accidentally choked out by an MMA superstar? We hope so. At least a bumper sticker or something.

Thankfully Werdum was good enough to check on his partner and help him wake up BEFORE jokingly blaming the unconsciousness on the school’s conditioning trainer.
