Ordinarily, the term “Banana Split” would induce salivation; but for Danny Holmes, it possibly causes a twinge in the groin. In the second MMA fight of his career, Jones transitioned to a position native to amateur wrestling, which is used to pin an adversary on their back for a point.

The commentators echoed the fans’ bewilderment, which turned to gaping admiration when Holmes tapped verbally. An uneducated guess, but I am of the opinion that most fighters would prefer to get choked out rather than stretched out like this. This is as close to the medieval torture practice of drawing and quartering as we’ll witness in the modern age.
