Is "face crank" the new RNC?

[xhaydenx]

He’s just way stronger bro . His ability to push thru pain is stronger than even MMA champs . He has no limits to his toughness . As a matter of fact, Xhaydenxx should coach fighters and have seminars on how to not tap to pain compliance techniques like a bitch. He’s missing out on millions.

You wrote my name instead of the OP's right? Or did I miss something? lol I would be teaching them to tap if I ran them seminars haha.

I remember an early prelim-ish sort of fighter who was having his first fight back after having his jaw broken. Got caught in a jaw crank, didn't tap and you could hear his jaw snap. Annnnd... he was due to get married the next week. Fella must have had all sorts of bad karma stored up.

Give me free entrance to seminar and afterwards I’ll get you on drinks in whatever town we’re in and we’ll troll the town for Boise Dimes.

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.

unless the guy is so strong that it feels like he's about to break your fucking jaw. look at DDP's back, i guarantee that dude can yank.

Bottom line is, pro fighters will tuck their chin into an RNC to have some hope of surviving/stalling/escaping so yes it'll be more common than clean RNCs in the future. But the defense is of limited effectiveness

Wouldn't have it any other way, mate.

Live by the sword, die by the sword.

You can strangle through the chin if applied correctly.

exactly. it even happens without anyone choking you. it happens in some people who have sleep apnea, their jaw relaxes and slides back, and in combination with their tongue, obstructs their airway and causes them to stop breathing.

 

[dogsdonutsdragons]

it hurts like hell. but i wonder what if you just let it go- jaw break and teeth can cave in for sure but do you go from that ?

 

[Pious Augustus]

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?

one in 2018 another in 2024

Alarmed Sherdogger: Face cranks is the new RNC

 

[Rataria]

The carotid arteries are still being blocked during those type of face crank rnc's

 

[AL-Tappo McSnappo]

It's painful

After seeing Tony tap to subs, i think warrior spirit has died, no one cares about not tapping.

 

[Poirierfan]

Bro in my day it was five hours.

Dude, in my day we wore the neck crank to school and back while walking home in 5 ft of snow. Dad only released it after we ate all our supper.

When the warrior spirit dies before you reach your prime..

Do you train at all bro?

 

[Poirierfan]

He probably potty trains.

 

[Greyscale]

Nah, in McGregor's case it was a neck crank, which can also be seen in Maia vs Story, for example. With the face crush, the tap is elicited by the pain from getting your face crushed.

[Big Tuppy Hole]

Yeah but so we're leg locks at one point

Tapping to leg locks never had the stigma of tapping to a face or jaw crank

Not tapping to them, but once upon a time it was seen as dirty to go for them.
