What’s that, you say? Never heard of the sneaky Pete submission hold? Then you must not train at Las Vegas’ famed Xtreme Couture. Juancamilo Ronderos (3-0) introduced the hold to the UFC Fight Pass audience watching Wednesday’s “WXC 80: Warrior Wednesday 5” event in Michigan, earning a technical submission win over a previously undefeated Matthew Elliott (4-1) with the slick move that clearly damaged his opponent’s arm. Ronderos also claimed the promotion’s vacant flyweight title with the headlining victory. “It’s one of those moves that once you know it, it’s hard to catch guys, but if you’ve got a big, strong dude on top of you – like the guy that was fighting Juan – and it’s hard to get up, it’s go for broke, and that move always freaking works,” Ronderos’ coach, Dennis Davis, told MMA Junkie
