His stats say he submitted a guy at K-1 Premium 2004 Dynamite with a wrist lock. I can't find anything authoritative, but I've always understood "small joint manipulation" to only apply to finger and toe locks as well.

My understanding was that wrist locks were legal but very ineffective against a resisting trained opponent.
