Greatest UFC submissions!?

[McDego]

There's been so many over years, and so many outside of the UFC, but I wanted to focus on UFC only submissions. Here's a few that I think belong at the top of the discussion. Feel free to add to it, but keep it UFC only.

Frank Shamrock vs Kevin Jackson - I believe it's still the fastest submission in UFC championship history? (sorry couldn't find a gif)

Cole MIller vs Dan Lauzon inverted triangle

Maia vs Sonnen

Penn vs Hughes 1 - 155lb Penn moving up in weight to take the belt from the champ

Hughes armbars GSP with 1 second left in round 1

GSP vs Hughes 3 - the final and official passing of the 170lb torch

Ivan Salaverry with something most had never seen before - a back crank - on Fryklund

Mighty Mouse's flying slambar

Mir's rolling snap to be the first to ever sub Nog

TWISTER!!!

Mir with whatever the fuck you call that on Petey

Jones with savagery on Machida

Silva dropping jaws after most thought his belt was gone



If one of the mods could make a poll, that would be cool. Let's keep it classy, sherdog. @Sigvard ?

Early stoppage.

Surprising really how few UFC title fights have really turned on a submission, I don't mean something like Khabib/Conor where one guy is beaten and then put away by sub by there a one off sub wins the fights.

Nog and Mir vs Sylvia
Anderson vs Sonnen 1
BJ vs Hughes 1
Hughes vs GSP 1

This is one of the most underrated subs in the UFC, its a shame people doesn't talk about it more often

 

[Safton]

I will always consider Mighty Mouse's suplex into an armbar to be the slickest submission in UFC history.

Hughes - GSP 1

 

[StanClarker]

I'd like to say destroying the myth, but actually given the opponent,,, Conor didn't do that bad on the ground.

Hazelett vs burkman.

There are a lot of fine submission fights. In the UFC, however, my all time fav is not based on the fanciest technique... its' based on the sheer effectiveness of the wrestler who flattned Royce Gracie and his bull sh*t along with it. Matt Hughes.

One of the greatest MMA-martial exposures of all time

I'm not real schooled in grappling, but another one of my fav's, is Tito's near upset submission against Machida... in final seconds of the fight. Although it failed... it would have marked a watershed win against Machida, who was repeatedly stair stepping his way up to the title.

Though not my brand of fighter, Tito put on a great fight against what was then read as an impossible opponent. Tito's moxy built the UFC during the growth years, which I never forgot. And same showed in the Machida fight. Kudos to Tito for stepping up to what everyone thought would be a sure loss.
