First Twister Move in the UFC Video

If you are a jiu jitsu practitioner or a jiu jitsu/grappling fanatic, like me, then, you must see the first ever Twister Move in the UFC. The Twister is like a neck crank, made popular by The Twister himself, Eddie Bravo. For those who do not know Eddie Bravo, he submitted a Gracie, specifically Royler Gracie in a jiu jitsu competition.


The Twister hold/move was on the news in the MMA world in the past few days. Thanks to Chan Sung Jung, also known as the Korean Zombie, who made the first successful Twister move/hold in the UFC. As I read throughout the internet, the Twister Hold/Move is difficult to execute in an MMA fight, that is why it is rarely done. But last UFC Fight Night, Chan Sung Jung stand out as he execute the Twister against Leonard Garcia, to become the first man to successfully use the Twister in UFC.

Here is the breakdown by Eddie Bravo himself on The First Twister Move in the UFC Video by Chan Sung Jun aka Korean Zombie.
