A four-time World Jiu-Jitsu Championships gold medal winner, five-fight UFC vet Vinny Magalhaes was M-1 Global 205lb champion. He shares his best submission moves

1. Vinny (white gi) starts with Scott inside his closed guard, with a firm grip on the very bottom right of Scott’s left lapel.

2. Instead of trying the normal lapel choke (reaching behind the neck), Vinny opens Scott’s gi, sits up and wraps the lapel around his back.

3. Vinny switches his grip on the gi from his right hand to his left hand, and lays back down to give himself more room to work.

4. Vinny switches his grip again, this time to his right hand.

5. Vinny pulls Scott down and yanks Scott’s right arm across his face before angling his legs as if he was going for an armbar.

6. Vinny grips the lapel to the right of Scott’s head with his left hand, returns to full guard and pulls Scott down for the tap.
