(Security guard is mildly amused by Coenen’s standing-guillotine.)
An interesting conspiracy theory from Saturday night’s women’s welterweight title bout between champion Marloes Coenen and challenger Liz Carmouche was that Carmouche actually tapped out to Coenen’s tight standing guillotine in the second round.
We decided to give the video a second look and we took the liberty of making an animated gif of the sub attempt. It’s a moot point since Coenen was able to secure a fight-ending triangle in the fourth round to retain the strap, but had Carmouche won, Team Golden Glory may have had a decent case for an appeal.
Check out the gif and decide for yourself whether or not “Gorilla” pulled a Sonnen.



Liz Cramoosh = butt drag fail. Where did she learn wrestling?
