The UFC 284 fightcard was a super exciting one. It was headlined by a main event between Alexander Volkanovski and Islam Makhachev; with Makhachev taking the decision victory after a great fight.
After the bout, Makhachev approached Craig Jones – Volkanovski’s Jiu-Jitsu coach – and spoke to him.
Jones shared the moment on Instagram, jokingly saying that the Dagestani fighter asked how to finish a Rear Naked Choke:

But what did Makhachev really say to Jones? Craig shared the answer in a recent Submission Radio episode:
I was confused, because he came up, hugged me, and pretended to throw me… And then I thought that the interaction was over.
And then he came up again. That’s why I was, like, is this guy… I was confused that he wanted to talk to me again.But he just made a joke, he was like: “Oh, you gotta teach your boy how to escape back control.”
It was all good, of course, though it may have been dependent upon the outcome of the fight:
But obviously, he was happy after the fight – getting the decision. I think that maybe he wouldn’t have been as friendly if he lost that one.
