It was a proud moment for Scott McQuary when Chael Sonnen cinched an arm-triangle choke that forced Brian Stann to tap out.

McQuary, who joined forces with Sonnen three months prior as a jiu-jitsu and muay Thai coach, said the submission was one of a handful drilled into the fighter over the course of training camp.

“I saw it as an opportunity – because in all of Chael’s fights previously, he was always in those positions,” McQuary told MMAjunkie.com.
