Media Rarest/Most Exotic Submissions in the UFC/MMA (gif heavy)

Who pulled off that Ezekiel choke from bottom in the OP that the guy tapped out while on top with full mount?
(Says UFC 208 on the Mat but I didn't see it in 208 results so either that was an add for 208 or I'm retarded)

That's crazy. I saw a guy get KOed while on top in mount, don't recall any other subs though

So I was walking the dog the other night and started a list of rare mma submissions and was wondering if anybody wanted to help me expand/correct it


I'm not including standard versions of things like straight armbars, triangles, anaconda/brabos, guillotines, RNCs, arm triangles or heel hooks. I will include some of the preceding subs if they are applied with an interesting setup like a flying armbar...

I don't really have any criteria for submissions to qualify as rare, except for them not appearing on the list above. Not looking at any numbers/stats to help decide what's what...

these can be subs that might have not actually happened yet in mma competition, but are theoretically possible as outcomes in an mma fight, eg no collar chokes or w/e. Also includes some subs that might not still be legal in modern competition.

I'm not a bjj practitioner btw, as some of you might be able to tell. I just find submissions in general to be fascinating. Please correct me where I inevitably get things wrong

here's what I've got so far, with gifs when I can find em↓

Closest we’ve had to that is like Newton/Hughes or something

I remember Oliynyk subbing Pesta with that Ezekiel from full guard. It was awesome

I remember a Japanese fight where a guy gets KO’ while he’s in full mount

Dude that’s fucking nuts!

They legit choked each other out??

 

[Flex Plexico]

No I know- I remember that going down.

Similar thing happened with Maynard and Wiman too iirc


Never heard of a double choke

Yeah, according to the newspaper [1940], they did choke themselves out... George woke up 1st, stood up...
Seems the ref didnt know what to do, tried to declare George the winner, but George refused since it could be seen as a controversial victory...

 

[campbecc]

fucking gorgeous

funny how Lytle was such a slugger on the feet but had so much finesse on the mat

he probably would have been more successful if he mixed up his fights by using more grappling

 

[Gambit MMA]

ezekiel choke using the gi

 

[Chris John]

I do this with my daughter, but I hold her by the hands.
Will try this way next time

 

[Chris John]

There was a boston crab this year too @Flex Plexico
has that been covered?

<Oku02>

 

[campbecc]

yes!!


Rogan has brought this up as a reason to never cross your feet in that position, iirc

wtf is that called?

edit: timestamped

I think most get caught by that one when they first start grappling because it feels natural to cross your feet like that
