First let's start off with the actual attack by Jones ( see the move here : http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-e8Nt-ZvSXW8/U2HStYlXNaI/AAAAAAAAGJQ/CU55k7cT8s4/s1600/UFC172-JonesXTeixeira-R4e-ShoulderCrank-400-sg.gif )
The technique itself is actually a very, very old and universal shoulder attack. It is taught in Japanese Jiu Jitsu styles and also found the European combat manual the Flos Duellatorum, used as part of dagger fighting and wrestling, and it is taught in modern grappling classes both standing and on the ground. The technique is fairly simple, Teixeira has an under hook and Jones brings arm over and around to get a very tight overhook. Jones slides his grip down to Teixeira's elbow and brings it up and in, torquing on the shoulder. It clearly impacted Teixeira as he requested ice on the shoulder, and the targeting of the right arm was likely a deliberate effort to reduce the power of Teixeira's right hand. This shoulder lock can be applied on the ground in a variety positions. Frank Mir famously used it from the guard against Pete Williams, but it can also be applied from the top as well.
