In 2003, Eddie Bravo first made a name for himself by submitting Royler Gracie with a triangle choke. It subsequently launched his career and his 10th Planet Jiujitsu brand, which is one that lives strong until today. In the recently concluded 2015 edition of the ADCC, Vinny Magalhaes was able to pull off Bravo’s signature move as he submitted Rodrigo Artilheiro in the quarterfinals.

Watch the UFC vet and BJJ whiz pull off a twister on the clip below.

An ecstatic Bravo also commented on the finish shortly after:
