Jutaro Nakao beat Thomas Denny with a front strangle choke (Aka the rape choke) in the event "Shooto To The Top 2". But i can't find any footage or pics of the fight.
Anyone have a link of the full fight or know were to download the full event?

Two weirdo submissions from Ryushi Yamagisawa that I believe to be unique.

Vs Les Johnston
Sherdog lists this one as a banana split but it plainly isn't. Commentator calls it an Karl Gotch-styled toehold.
timestamped


Vs Jack McGlaughlin
Sherdog calls this one a Twister while Wikipedia lists it as a Sugar Hold. Looking at the finish it appears Wikipedia has defeated Sherdog on this one. Unbelievable. Bested by Wikipedia. Shame! Shaaaaame!

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↓

Vince Morales with some sort of Peruvian Necktie variant:



Edit: I just realized that his opponent was UFC vet Hunter Azure. Makes it even more impressive!
