He ended his matches by submitting Peter Ayuyu via guillotine choke.<\/p>\n<p>Nick Ayuyu, after losing to Mundo, used the guillotine choke against Peter Ayuyu then employed an armbar submission against Manglona to finish second. Manglona\u2019s lone win was against Peter Ayuyu, as the former forced the latter to tap out via scarfhold chest compression.<\/p>\n<p>With Mundo\u2019s triumph, he now joins Lorenzo Attao of Saipan and Manglona on the winners list of Team Tinian\u2019s open grappling event.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat an awesome experience it was. The competition was fierce; I am amazed by the talent, athleticism, skills, intensity, and the potential that these islanders possess,\u201d said Manglona, who also acts as Team Tinian\u2019s coach\/trainer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe practice of grappling is an excellent way to build endurance, improve physical strength and mental focus and can be applied as a self-defense tool. I believe that competitions such as this can help raise the island\u2019s overall grappling IQ and I hope that more people in the CNMI will practice the wonderful art,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Perry Mundo defeated all of his opponents in the round-robin format to emerge as the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":48,"featured_media":264914,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[18788,19145,18789,12769],"class_list":["post-264908","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports","tag-nick-ayuyu","tag-perry-mundo","tag-peter-ayuyu","tag-team-tinian"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/264908","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/48"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=264908"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/264908\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/264914"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=264908"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=264908"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=264908"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
