Yoshihiro 'Kiss' Nakao hypes the devastating 'TK clutch' ahead of SRC 12 clash against Sentoryu

Yoshihiro "Kiss" Nakao's infamy stemming from his amorous-affair-gone-awry against Heath Herring continues to overshadow his accomplishment as a fighter; however, he is not messing around in anticipation of an emphatic victory over former sumo wrestler and Pride's freakshow relic, Henry "Sentoryu" Miller at SRC 12 on March 7.

"I don't know how I will win but I am only aiming for a knockout or submission. For this fight, I have honed the 'TK clutch' which has been imparted directly from Mr. Tsuyoshi Kohsaka. There are three variations of the technique, and I want to execute whichever one is most suitable to finish my opponent during the course of the fight. What will happen if Sentoryu becomes the victim of the technique? Wow, it'll be dangerous... I think there should be a huge ambulance on standby."

Japanese MMA legend and mastermind behind the "TK clutch," Tsuyoshi Kohsaka followed up Nakao's teaser with a brief explanation of the technique. Without giving away the specifics, Kohsaka stated that it is a wrestling technique that he adapted in order to submit his opponent in MMA.

According to him, "TK clutch" is both a sleeper hold and joint lock and the kind of technique that sends grappling aficionados into frenzy (apparently, former SRC Lightweight champion, Satoru Kitaoka has attempted something very similar in his fights).

Echoing the devastating potential of the technique, Kohsaka warned that, should a fighter get caught, he had better tap lest he risks serious injury... come fight time, we'll find out whether Nakao is simply bluffing or actually has some seriously nasty tricks up his sleeve.
