best submission game in LW history -> Tony Ferguson ?

[TripTictonic]

Nate has 30 fights....23 at LW....6 at WW and RDA was a catchweight

A catchweight? Is that a different wording for missing weight? lol

I've never understood why people care about variety of submissions when evaluating someone's sub game.

The more dominant you are, the more you open up the highest percentage subs, which you should always take for the easiest path to victory.

Do people think Ronda doesn't know how to set up and finish a triangle, or BJ Penn an armbar, etc...?

The answer to the question is BJ Penn. His top game and ability to take the back was frightening...now if you want to talk about who the best was off their back...that's a different question

Well, it can't be sanctioned as a LW fight if one or both fighters are over the LW limit.

You're probably right TS.

sharpest submission game. fergusons submission attempts are very sharp and mostly successful.
he has a better submission game than kevin lee and khabib. khabib`s ground game depends more on gnp while ferguson doesnt have a gnp game at all but a sharp submission game.

What brought Khabib in the discussion for submissions? Even Lee just has the RNC. When I think of submissions neither of those two come to mind.
