Gary Tonon Submits His 3rd Opponent in MMA
Gary Tonon is not only a no gi grappling stand out; but not he's making waves in the mixed martial arts world by beating 10th Planet Korea super star: Sung Jong Lee!

Gary Tonon is known for his chokes and guillotine chokes... hence the nickname "Lion Killer". You can see the confidence Gary has when he gets on Sung Jong Lee's neck.
Once he has the choke locked, he keeps it and continues to adjust his position from guard to mount to passing guard, and back to mount to finish. As long as he keeps the head and arm clinch he's fine.
His submission over position style makes for extremely exciting matches like those that he's had against Kit Dale, AJ Agazarm, Keenan Cornelius and his insanely awesome epic match against Kron Gracie in 2013.
