It was Josh Burkman. I hate how underrated Hazelett was.This is what I thought of. Dustin Hazlett (sp) and I begin to recall the other guys name.

Although u may not be wrong, just like me saying that was a submission, thats not just an armbar.Its an armbar
Mir didn't sub Nog with an armbar; it was a kimura. And not a particularly difficult sub to pull off, which makes it the more surprising that Nog got caught with it.
I think Big Nog's BJJ is pretty basic, he's kind of a more refined HW Royce. His grappling shines in applying it against MMA fighters who are less well versed in BJJ but dangerous in other ways. Even though I think there are/were other HWs who are better BJJ players(Rico, Mir, Werdum) in a technical sense his experience and toughness and awareness got him through a lot of hairy situations where seemingly "better" BJJ players would've crumpled. Mir has his number and beats him on the ground 7-9/10 but Mir would not have survived against prime Cro Cop or prime Fedor. I think even roided up Sapp would beat Mir despite knowing jackshit on the ground.Exactly. And Nog just got too cute with Mir in that exchange. Trying to peek out like that, leaving his arm behind was something he could get away with with lesser grapplers, but Mir just latched on. It was a great exchange and credit to Mir, but Nog set himself up for it
Korean Zombie's twister submission on Poirier (I think) looked pretty complicated.
Its basically a belly down armbar. That is how you armbar somebody when you have their back.Although u may not be wrong, just like me saying that was a submission, thats not just an armbar.
Hell if ur facing the mat it's called something else than when ur looking up at the sky..
Cause it's very suspectCan't believe no mention of the flying scissors, Chonan v Silva.
Kinda, but it's not.Its basically a belly down armbar. That is how you armbar somebody when you have their back.
Couple differences Ronda did there was her grip on the arm. Usually you will have both hands on their arm but she almost had an overhook grip. She also turned onto her side. Just slightly different angle than the belly down armbar. IMO, it makes it a little tighter and harder to escape when you turn onto one hip. You just have to adjust slightly to straighten their arm out.
Damn maybe dude really was a ninjafrom ufc 2
Ezekiel choke
I completely disagree. Nog basically outgrappled Werdum in just about all the grappling exchanges around the time Werdum was a World BJJ champ and ADCC champ.I think Big Nog's BJJ is pretty basic, he's kind of a more refined HW Royce.

My memory seems to be waning in my old age. Thank you gentlemen, you have been of great assistance. Was definitely Garcia.Like the others said, Garcia was the Twister. Poirier was a Darce.
The combo and scramble before he landed that sub was pretty sick, though.
Iaquinta's heel hook against Kevin Lee.Who's that in the fist one? That was crazy slick.
Russian armbar.Kinda, but it's not.
I know the mechanics, I was just looking to see if there was a name for it.
Maybe a straight armbar variant, but still, no
Fair points. Nog's BJJ in his prime was great overall as an MMA fighter because coupled with his extreme toughness and well roundedness (for a BJJ guy at the time) he could threaten in many ways which often led to basic submissions. His craftyness and durability are the keys to his success as a BJJ guy.I think Big Nog's BJJ is pretty basic, he's kind of a more refined HW Royce.

I think that was more due to Nog's experience and Werdum's lack there of. Plus Nog was winning on the feet and even dropped him at one point so the brief exchanges on the ground were dictated by Nog. Don't get me wrong, obviously Nog is good on the ground and I'm not saying what I'm saying to diss him, he's one of my favorites. I just think that its not necessarily his technical skill on the ground as much as some of his other assets that accounted for his success but either way the guy got results and is one of the greatest BJJ players in MMA history in terms of results.I completely disagree.
