Is it possible to use an arm drag in MMA?

You don't see it in muay thai either.

It happend now and then especially in jap vs thai but its pretty rare. OG thai boxing used backarches and body slams of caught kicks. It was more like a Greco-Roman slam Theory then today's Thai boxing which has virtually eliminated the slams especially in the anglicized version. I think the translation was "thum" or "tum" (the practice of slams)

You read my mind.
These new fans just dont know. This is slowed way down.
If you have never trained in grappling I dont think you can appreciate.
In real time against a top level opponent.

Looks like GSP never had his right butterfly hook in, which made the side to arm drag more obvious.
