My point is that, during a competition match....both equally match competitors are going all out, 100% in everything to win. There's no difference in the amount of force being used in trying to knock someone the F out with punches, kicks, elbows, knees, etc. in the cage compared to a street fight....prison fight....husband catching his wife in bed with another man and now is trying to kill him, etc.
Just that in the cage, there's a Referee, corner throwing in the towel, tapout, etc... to stop the fight once someone is KO'ed, about to get choked into the state of unconsciousness, arm broken, etc... while on the streets, in prison or the above bedroom....it can go on until someone dies. But the level of brutality that led up to this point of being KO'ed or serious injuries or near death....is no different than in the cage.
So a choke in the cage that's locked in, is still cranked with all the power that the choker possesses to cause maximum damage until he's stopped.
