UFC legend teaches opponent signature submission after 60th professional win

MMA veteran Alexey Oleynik taught his signature move to Jared Vandeera after submitting him at UFC 273.

Oleynik picked up his 60th win as a professional by tapping out Vandeera with a scarf hold submission last weekend. The 44-year-old broke a three-fight losing streak with the win and earned a $50,000 performance bonus for his efforts.

In a moment that encapsulated the respect between the two fighters, Oleynik showed Vandeera his trademark ezekiel choke backstage after their fight. 'The Boa Constrictor' demonstrates the choke on Vandeera before guiding him through the submission on his coach.
