Also Kenny Robinson pulled an interesting leg submission on Brock Jardine at UFC 157 that I hadn't seen before.

Also Kenny Robinson pulled an interesting leg submission on Brock Jardine at UFC 157 that I hadn't seen before.

It's in the thread.

 

[Fedorgasm]

and two recent ones:

What is this guy's name?

 

[wasp]

I always thought the slide that Imanari would use consistently to set up his leglocks were innovative.

Wasnt the best idea at times, but it did allow him to slap on LLs.

 

[Bboy]

Don't really see anybody with this kind of fluidity.

Trip to diving punch

Only other guy I remember doing something like this is Mike Swick against Damarques Johnson.

 

[flanellograf]

What is this guy's name?

Adlan Amagov. Fought at the last fuel card. Pretty good kicking game and grappling.

 

[Dreaming Dead]

Two guys have actually done it:

Suloev:

Kenny Robertson:

I see your "hamstring submission thingy" and I raise you a half boston crab:

Barbarian Bitch Toss

I can't find a gif of it but Ivan Salaverry did invent the crucifix
Mark Coleman's godson, Ground and Pound

 

[Persuadertron]

That was nice, what's it called?

also....this chin to the eye technique (@3:47)

Kind of looked like something Eddie Bravo has a video on called "the sorcerer."

[wompuscatwilly]

I don't how to post the vid but the Peruvian neck tie comes to mind. Also Ruas foot stomps.

[HIMBOB]

Been seeing a few guys do a standing guiloteen, drop to guard but while still in motion roll over their head to end up in mount.

Fucken baller!!!!

I can't find a gif of it but Ivan Salaverry did invent the crucifix

I would be reluctant to say it like that.

I don't know anything about how valid your comment is BUT I am quite sure he is not the first person to ever use it (wrestling has been around since humans have) and he most probably got shown it by somebody else.

Its like Kimura and the Kimura, he didn't invent it but he did revive/popularise it.

I see your "hamstring submission thingy" and I raise you a half boston crab:

Looked like it was going to be a kimura-like sub, but turned into a slicer of some sort? Wierd.

 

[Paladin114]

Not particularly huge from a technique perspective (it's a guillotine), but the strength and technique used to advance and keep good position to finish out the squeeze by Kennedy is pretty cool. Too many fighters get a guillotine, then just drop into guard to try and finish it out.

 

[Genkis Udo]

great list and all but how is there no Genki Sudo?!?!? just one gif will not do, so here....
