TUF 28 Finale Highlight Video: Maurice Greene Triangles Michel Batista
Maurice Greene made quick work of 2008 Cuban Olympian Michel Batista when they locked horns. Batista, as expected, scored a rather easy takedown, but the much larger Greene remained calm off his back.
With Batista trying to make something happen in The Pirate’s guard, Greene slowly locked up a triangle choke. Batista (4-2) tried to power his way out of it, but there was nowhere to go. Greene (6-3) squeezed his knees together to tighten the choke and eventually forced the tap. The end officially came at 2:14 of the opening stanza.
