Aoki had Gardner's back while Gardner was on his knees trying to avoid the rear naked choke.....Aoki had

his left hand underneath the left armpit of Gardner and Aoki's right arm was over the right shoulder of Gardner

holding Gardner's left arm while Gardner's right hand was grasping at Aoki's left hand....and for some

reason, Gardner let go of Aoki's left hand with his right hand and raised his right arm to wave (and say) hello

to Japan and Aoki quickly slipped his right arm underneath the chin of Gardner for the choke.
