Is "face crank" the new RNC?

[deadshot138]

Wiki has Du Plessis defeating Adesanya via face crank but it looked like his arm was under the neck. DDP has another face crank win on his record and pretty sure Khabibs win over Conor is a face crank as well. Grosso also beat Shevchenko with a face crank. What causes the tap if a strangle isn't happening? The threat of jaw dislocation?

It's painful

Do you really have to ask what causes a tap when someone is squeezing and crushing your jaw into your own skull?

It's the new RNC but 1/3 of your references was from a fight 6 years ago

Tapping to pain with a belt on the line

Khabib was an innovator

Squeezing power isn't infinite. If a strangle isn't occurring there's no threat of incapacitation. People shouldn't be tapping to this. It's like tapping to a headlock.

It'll mess your jaw up if you don't tap. It isn't just a "pain" submission despite popular belief. Similar with a neck crank, some people think it's just pain you can def get injured if you don't tap after a while.

Khabib probably didn't think Conor was going to tap and wanted to inflict pain. Notice how Khabib looked agitated and wanted to keep fighting.

You can strangle through the chin if applied correctly.

Im pretty sure he did it for the tap.

Have you had one applied to you ?

Not so sure. Khabib really wanted to hurt Conor and dish out pain.

This was frowned upon heavily when I was grappling 20 or so years ago.

Yeah but so we're leg locks at one point

Pain tolerance isn't infinite either.

Tapping to a neck crank is nothing like tapping to a headlock either haha. Well applied neck cranks hurt way way more, hence why people tap to those and not headlocks.

lol why else would elite fighters like Izzy, Shev and plenty others tap out to neck cranks if they knew they could just wait it out? They just thought "fuck it" and decided to give up the belt or something?

Face crank is so hot right now.

 

[mmacool]

A striker like Izzy will tap to a face crank/rnc pretty fast. They know, when it's time to do so.....

 

[sonhow]

Also quite a coincidence that all of these happened on 4th round and the loser won the previous round -the third for those that cant count.
