Has anyone ever been caught in an "Full-Nelson" in the UFC/MMA before?

[illegalnature]

I know it works for certain situations I guess but has it ever been effectively used in this sport before?

Didn't Guida get someone in either a full or half Nelson?

 

[Pig Farmer**]

not sure, can't recall seeing it before.

 

[Crimson Fury]

It's been a while, but didn't Rich Clementi catch Melvin Guillard in a full nelson at one point?

 

[GordaoPreguico]

What would be the point of doing it?

 

[IWANTTOTRAINUFC]

You mean one of the easiest things to get out of?
Doubtful. Not unless they grew up on WWF worshiping hulk hogan

 

[MestizoIV]

IDK about anybody being caught by Full Nelson but theres been plenty of people who were caught by Roy Nelson

 

[Akabignasty]

Yes

I've seen a half nelson a couple of times, and usually the other fist is pummeling the dude's face. But like said above, a full nelson would be kind of pointless in a MMA fight.

Think Clay Guida had a half Nelson on Nate Diaz when they fought

 

[MontrealMauler]

Seen it in MMA before, not sure if it was UFC. I could be wrong but you might be able to use it to secure hooks before a guy can escape.

I can't even remember what a full nelson is. Has anyone ever been caught in a sharp shooter* haha

You could get someone in a full nelson,ask them if they shit the bed,then make them nod,you might not win a title doing it,but it's a good laugh.

And then what?

This is how I remember it, with the other fist punching Nate in the face. Joe Daddy got him in some embarrassing holds as well. It's hard being a Diaz fan sometimes (ok, most of the time).

It was a full nelson, and it took Mike and Joe about a minute to realize it. Full nelson is a submission hold but it's like the can opener. Common sense will allow you to not be submitted. Half nelson is used for transitions. Usually when someone has side control from the back, and wants to switch to traditional side control.

Full nelson then a trip/slam onto their face would work pretty well.

Then what? Call him slapnuts?

You never go full nelson bro.

I'm pretty sure if you have such grappling supremacy in a fight that you can get a Full Nelson facebuster against a resisting opponent, then you'd be as well winning by snapping their chickenbone arms over your leg like a backwoodsman with a bundle of dry kindling.
