Buggy Choke

An unorthodox choke from bottom side control using your legs around the neck.

The buggy choke is a modern submission where you attack from bottom side control by threading your far leg over your opponent's head and locking a triangle-like squeeze around their neck. It exploits the fact that most people feel safe in side control and don't expect leg-based attacks from there. Popularized in recent competition circuits, the buggy choke requires flexibility and precise timing but has proven effective at the highest levels as a surprise attack.
