[Billthebutcher2]

Sylvia vs Arlovski 2.

Shamrock vs Fujita. Ken hurt and completely winded himself, beating on a guy with an iron head and he had to throw in the towel.

First one that comes to mind is Carwin, Lesnar.

Carwin went for broke in the first round and gassed out then got subbed!

pat barry vs kongo

 

[PrinceOfPain]

Mir- nog 2

Does this count? 'Cos Nog was already going for the finish (and looking like he'd get it) when he when he went for the sub that lost him the fight..

 

[ferrisjso]

Machida vs Rua 2. Machida got really aggressive taking down Shogun twice and as a result got caught.

Yeah. A sub is a finishing move.
