A shocking incident unfolded during a recent episode of the “El Segundo Podcast” when Alex Jones, the controversial host of Infowars, was choked unconscious by Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu champion Craig Jones. The 49-year-old Jones found himself in La La Land as Craig executed a perfectly tight rear-naked choke, causing him to doze off during the live show.
Key Takeaway
Controversial host Alex Jones fell unconscious during an appearance on the “El Segundo Podcast” after being put to sleep by Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu champion Craig Jones.
The details leading up to the submission remain unknown, but it’s evident that Alex willingly participated. It’s worth noting that Craig Jones is renowned for his stranglehold techniques and has coached prominent fighters such as Alexander Volkanovski and Israel Adesanya.
Craig shared a video of the incident on social media, playfully mentioning, “The CIA sent me, but I couldn’t do my dad like that” – clarifying that there is no family connection between them.
In the video, the rear-naked choke is already locked in tightly. After approximately 8 seconds of pressure, Alex’s eyes roll back, and he loses consciousness. Almost 10 seconds later, he finally wakes up, bewildered and unaware of what had just transpired – a common occurrence when individuals are choked out.
“What? What’d I just do?” Alex exclaimed, confused and looking around for answers.
Presumably, Craig will release more videos featuring Alex during the podcast episode’s debut. For MMA enthusiasts, rear-naked chokes are a common sight in fights, as they are one of the fundamental techniques taught in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, restricting blood flow to the carotid artery.
