Flick can move himself one step closer to the rankings with victory over Maness this weekend, and he heads into the bout with an array of finishing techniques in his arsenal. But, if the opportunity presented itself for him to hit his signature technique, it would make his victory even sweeter.
“The Von Flick, 100 percent, is my favorite choke,” he said.
“I have four wins by the Von Flick. And the reason I call it that Von Flick is because I can actually hit it from bottom. And if you go back and watch the fight with Malcolm Gordon, I was hitting it from bottom. But Malcolm, the angle he took, he gave me a chance to roll him over. So when I roll you over, it’s easier to finish.
“One day, I’ll hit it from the bottom and I’m going to hit it from the top, as well. And then people will see why it’s called the Von Flick. I will go for it in a heartbeat. The guillotine, the triangle, the armbar, it doesn’t matter. I’m looking to get the win and I know if I tap ’em, I get paid quicker.”
