It’s not often we see a north-south choke lead to a submission, but it happened Saturday at Bellator Champions Series: Dublin. Shinobu Ota quickly locked one in on Roger Blanque , leading to a tapout just 2:18 into the first round at 3Arena. Once Ota (7-3) had it, Blanque (5-6) wiggled violently but simply couldn’t escape.
