How many times have you been put to sleep?

Three times.

The first two were as a blue belt. The first was a triangle. It went from nothing to full on tourniquet pressure in just a second or two. As soon as I went to tap I went to sleep.

The second time was from a no-gi brabo choke. I shot the underhook and they locked up it. I popped up to my knees and they slid under and clocked into me like Homer Simpson. I thought since it hurt less and they weren’t on top that they didn’t have anything anymore. I was wrong.

The third time was at brown belt. A black belt got me in a baseball choke as I was trying to pass to mount. Magid Hage x Clark Gracie style.

A few times, never counted though.

I do recall the first one though it was in 99’ I was like 18 years old. Gene Lebell and Gokar were doing a demo, i can say compared to the the other times I have been put out Lebell’s was so smooth and quick. Haha.
