He revealed that he was more than happy to teach Vanderaa how to use the chokehold properly, hoping that it won't be used on him in the future. However, he confidently asserted that his opponents might have to try "3,000-10,000 times" to get him to tap out.

"I do the submission many, many, many times. You know, and a little bit, I'm happy because my opponent, UFC fighter, he listened about this. He afraid [of] this and that's why he asked me after fight, 'What is this terrible, terrible Oleinik choke?'"
