At Phoenix FC 1 in Overland Park, Kansas USA, flyweight Tyler Stokes tapped Jesse Thacher with an unholy Suloev Stretch. The name for the submission was coined by KJ Gould, after Amar Suloev, who tapped Paul Cahoon with it at 2H2H 5: Simply the Best, on October 13, 2002, in Rotterdam, Netherlands. The submission is not so much a knee bar, as a hamstring stretch. It has made rare but dramatic appearances in MMA ever since.
