What exactly is the technique? Reem couldn’t even finish an RNC with gloves on, and there was nothing happening with his hands. I’m not doubting it, I just didn’t see him do anything. Seemed to me he knew basically what was going on immediately, and that he was being “choked” by somebody with boxing gloves on. Not only does that narrow down who it could be, but he’s in no danger of going to sleep anyway

Bas would beat Chuck coz he is 1,5 times bigger in their prime and they are both top level fighters. Weight divisions exist for a reason. But saying Chuck can't grapple... well, he is a 3rd degree(!) black belt in BJJ under Carlos Machado. He is training with the Machados for decades, So, let's say, he is not lost on the ground. :)
