This looks like Folk style wrestling and in folk style wrestling, it is illegal to encompass only the head in a head lock. The ref should have stopped this immediately.
Chappa obviously went for the choke and got it. He did the same move in college to get in the starting lineup. I think he did it because he felt that was the only way he could beat root was by choking him out. Root would have beat him easily.
...using a choke disguised as a front face lock to take an opponent down in an amatuer match and get an easy pin happens more than you think. And when they are put to sleep so deep and spasm, it sure gives it away what was going on.
