Nice thread

 

[Flex Plexico]

Great thread...

Why can't all sherdog threads be like this?

Dude I appreciate it

Honestly was cathartic getting all this down on paper

You guys have shown me a bunch of new crazy subs I’d never seen, at least outside of WWE

 

[Dirge]

I've got some digital footage from the first few ufc (had them on vhs)

I'll have a look and see if there is anything from back in the beginning

Hey @Flex Plexico: I've got two more for you.

1) The Bas Rutten Neck Crank

2) No idea what to call this thing that Minoru Suzuki tapped Vernon White with. Reverse leg scissors? Leg scissor face crunch?

Two additional ones I couldn't find pics or gifs of: Masakatsu Funaki once caught Frank Shamrock in a triangle/kimura from guard. He threw up the triangle, Frank had the arm inside tucked beneath Funaki's hips, so Funaki just grabbed it and kimura'd it. Pancrase was great for that type of quick-thinking improvisation.

And speaking of Frank Shamrock, his kneebar on Jeremy Horn is also quite the anomalous submission. He ended up triangling both of Horn's legs and just picking one to extend for the kneebar.

i have a distinct memory of Randleman screaming in pain, and (i think it was) Coleman yelling at him "don't worry it's just a pain sub, don't tap!" but for the life of me i cannot remember against who. maybe Shogun?

hold on, i'll be back in 10 minutes (just remembered i paid for fightpass a few months ago)

EDIT: i think i'm merging memories, because yes Randleman was screaming in pain, but i didn't see anyone (e.g. Coleman) telling him "don't worry it's just a pain move".

anyway, it's a great addition, simply because Randleman's leg is taco'd against his body:

Most brutal submission IMO. Unforgettable.
