What a ridiculous thing to say. You either haven't seen that fight, are remembering it completely wrong, or are just lying to try to strengthen your point. The fact that you wrote that pretty much smashes your credibility.

I'd take apart how silly the rest of your post is, but if you actually think Hardonk had anything resembling a sub on Mir your knowlege of grappling is nonexistant. I've been in that spot that Mir was in too many times to count (sometimes rolling with guys who have very good guards and who are better grapplers than I am) and not only have I never been subbed from that spot, it hasn't even been close to happening. Mir did exactly what you have to do to stay out of any danger. Spin around and just step over the top of the guy.

There was a better chance of Hulk Hogan jumping in the cage and hitting Mir with a steel chair than of Hardonk securing anything resembling a sub from that spot vs. a guy like Mir.

I'd say Gonzaga since he had a really clear advantage over Werdum there in their fights prior to Gonzaga gassing and sort of giving up (the first fight was spent largely on the ground if I recall).

Says Maia also got Big Nog in a rear-naked but didnt sub him out of respect.
