If at first you don’t succeed, slam, slam once more.

I imagine that’s how the saying goes, anyway. It actually labored out for Rocky Saboya, who tried as soon as to slam his manner out of a triangle choke, didn’t fairly get all of it, after which determined to simply do it once more. The second time was the allure (or ought to, I say, the “hurt” he he he he) and poor Riran Zenidim acquired dropped proper on his head, neck, and shoulder.

That triangle choke try fell aside actual fast after that. Saboya unloaded with ground-and-pound and that’s all she wrote.
