Colby Covington, a UFC fighter, recently recreated his last submission win in a video with rapper Lil Pump. The video shows Covington applying a rear-naked choke on Lil Pump, who ends up tapping out and falling unconscious.
It seems that many non-martial artists, including athletes and influencers, enjoy experiencing what it’s like to be choked out by a professional fighter. Covington fulfilled Lil Pump’s wish by putting him to sleep with a submission hold.
Initially using a Gable grip, Covington eventually switches to a traditional rear-naked choke to secure the submission. Lil Pump taps out by tapping his own chest, signaling his defeat.
Covington releases the hold once he realizes Lil Pump is unconscious, stating, “Look at his eyes. He’s out.” Lil Pump later regains consciousness with a smile on his face, acknowledging the experience on social media.
The video of the incident was shared by Lil Pump on his Instagram account, cautioning others not to try the same at home. He humorously mentioned getting put to sleep by Covington in the post.
In his Instagram post, Lil Pump also teased an upcoming kick stream, hinting at more exciting content to come. The video of him being choked out by Covington has certainly captured the attention of fans and followers alike.
