Best submission in UFC history?

[blewgums]

Gracie triangle choking Severn.

 

[Estudante]

not the best, but i like these

 

[Himo]

Olivera's calf slicer is still (afaik) the only compression sub in UFC history and the look of agony on Wisely's face really puts it in the elite tier along with KZ's twister and some others.

Doesn't really look that cool but Davis's modified Kimura against Boetsch was sick.

Too bad he got shown up by AJ

I hate hate hate hate hate hate hate calf slicers just because I have big calves. Great sub. My vote is still Anderson Chael

Silva-Sonnen 1
Mir-Nog 2
Cody McKenzie - Mark Stephens

 

[Machida vs Ryu]

All these pages and no one has included the real answer.

The real answer is the same as the best submission in competitive jiu-jitsu history--the same submission that was so good it got BANNED.

Korean Zombie's Twister


I also always like BJ Penn's RNC on Matt Hughes. That was glorious.

 

[Roganbyarmbar]

Hazelett was the shit.

 

[digitalman45]

anderson vs shael

calf slicer runner up

 

[Frank23]

The twister got banned in the ufc?

 

[Monsolo]

Rockhold over Boetsch deserves an honorable mention.

 

[BaraoBanks]

Nate Diaz triangle on kurt pellogrino

 

[BoogerDawson]

KZ Twister

I also like Benavidez' recent guillotine for the sheer comedy. The victim had to tap with his feet.

Hughes-Almeida also a good sub.

 

[BBKAllDay]

People ITT voting for a high school wrestling move.

 

[sportkillergreg]

i'm a big chael fan but i'm gonna go with Anderson's triangle against Chael in their first fight. That was clutch.

 

[Mr Boogaloo]

Frank Shamrock / Kevin Jackson armbar in 17 secs

 

[iowamma2012]

a lot of great examples and I cannot choose.

The Jones standing choke of Machida is another beautiful one given the opponent

As is the Damien Maia neck crank on Rick Story
