Is "face crank" the new RNC?

I've never heard of that lol. I don't train anymore so don't have anyone to try it on.

So, what, like you reach up behind your head, and then behind their head, and pull them in? How does that even stop what they're doing with their legs?

I'm not explaining it very well I don't think. You just literally stiff arm the back of their head. To finish the ankle crossover they need to be able to arch their back into it to get any torque, so by stiff arming their head you prevent them doing that.

Okay, that makes sense to me now.

Can guarantee there's lots of guys in the UFC who would have no idea to do that lol. Half of them are completely lost in a body triangle until the end of the round lol.

You'd hope people would know it but I guess maybe not, it's one of those techniques you don't even have to drill to know. Then again I have seen some shockingly bad sub defence at UFC level.

Brother, some guys in the UFC just try to post on both hands and stand up while their opponent is on their back with hooks in and fishing for an RNC haha.
