There have been a few instances where a fighter stops striking and goes for the kill with a guillotine only to fail and sometimes lose.

Nogueira vs Mir. Nogueira almost finished Mir and went for a guillotine. He was reversed and had his arm broken.

Overeem dropped Stipe and went in for the kill with a guillotine. Stipe got out and KOd Overeem (not Arlovski) a couple of minutes later.

Woodley vs Wonderboy. Woodley had Wonderboy in all sorts of trouble and went for a guillotine. Wonderboy held on and escaped to earn a draw.

Are there any other examples of this? Maybe with a different submission.

Not a fan of that, if is'nt perfect you give time to recover while causing no damage

i am confused here.
 
Glad Hendricks is no longer champ. When he had his opponents rocked, he would shove his head in between their legs.

I remember Belcher kept going for guillotines against Okami which was a stupid gameplan. Basically he kept pulling guard while going for them, Okami would escape and maintain top control to win a comfortable decision.
 
I'm sure faber has done it a shit load of times

BJ would hurt the guy and go for the rear naked a lot as well
 
If you go for it, you better be 100% at that sub. In MMA I would just keep striking.

At what point did Arlovski show up? Think I missed that part. Unless I was too distracted by Rogan arguing with Reem on the instant replay.

EDIT-- Damnit, never quick enough lol.
