Has anyone in the UFC escaped from a fully locked-in rear naked choke?

Benavidez got out of like 3 before Fig ultimately slept him.

Watch Fitch vs Maia.
I have no idea how Fitch escaped multiple times and resisted forever.
 
Go watch Matt Hughes vs Frank Trigg and Matt Hughes vs Frank Trigg II. Both amazing fights and absolutely incredible displays. I will say no more so as not to give any spoilers.

That's gotta be the closest one I can think of. How the fuck did Trigg not finish that?

I still have no idea how Shamrock wasn't able to finish this against Kimbo
It is because his hand is on top of his head as opposed to behind it and his other elbow should be under the chin. The way he is doing it is like a professional wrestling sleeper hold, it will choke out, but much slower than a fully and properly applied RNC.

A lot of people in MMA do not apply it properly, which means they are going to rely on grip strength and endurance. Or sometimes, if they are using their forearms, they are actually crushing the windpipe.
