Armbar- NOG/CROCOP

Americana- Barnett-Aleks

Kimura- Saku-Renzo AND FUCK YOU, MIR! YOU GOT LUCKY!!! TWICE!!!!

Arm Triangle- Aurelio-Gomi

Anaconda- Nog-Yokoi. Herring is thhe better name, but that first one was just jaw-dropping, at the time. That Oliviera/Hioki sub is probably better, but I'm a bit biased and also don't know what to calm that

D’Arce- KZ-Poirier

Peruvian Necktie- CB-JT Money. I took it more seriously after that.

Rear-naked Choke- Doerksen-Cote is my favorite, but not nearly the most iconic

Guillotine- Chael-Shogun. yep.

Triangle- Salaverry-Riggs

Triangle-Armbar- Genki-Brown

Omoplata- Royce-Akebono lol slim pickings

Gogoplata- Diaz-Gomi

Heel Hook- Do flying heel hooks count?

Kneebar- Saku-Zelg

Achilles Lock- Arlovski-Tim

Toe Hold- Mir-Tank

Neck-Crank- Tito-Kondo

Twister- KZ-Garcja
 
Von flue - OSP vs Krylov
Darce - KZ vs Porier
Heel Hook - rousimar vs Pierce considering what it lead to and the commotion afterwards.

Only changes id make to TS list.

Don't know if I'd say it's the most legendary, but it's sure fun to watch.
That was maybe the craziest submission I've seen. Toby was getting his ass beat in that fight too it was nuts

Triangle - Imada vs. Masvidal (inverted triangle)
Triangle-Armbar - Silva vs. Sonnen 1
Gogoplata - Diaz vs. Gomi
Heel Hook - Anything Palhares
Kneebar - Mir vs. Lesnar
Toe Hold - Mir vs. Tank?
Neck Crank - Maia vs. Story
Twister - Zombie vs. Garcia

I've not seen the actual fight, not even sure we get Bellator broadcast in the UK. But the way he locks that choke in is slick. As a white belt who only has a triangle, it's a beautiful sight.

I think when that happened you could only stream it from their site, which I did.

Might have to look in to that, do you know if they only broadcast it live, or can you watch it later?
 
Jerry Bohlander crucifix neck crank was prob best, or one like it in Shooto, or
Aoki Dream 17 exorcist neck crank that was called an RNC and was not

Vinny M also had the AokiPlata lol

Rolling Guillotine most u have not seen, props to the Ninja Scott Morris for doing it from the feet unseen UFC 2 prelims.....before Oleg T later did one. Had people seen that, Ninjitsu would have blown up more than GJJ. You want slow long time, or some dynamic Ninja Shit, that literally has been Tekken Neck breaks later on lol

Aoki Hammer Lock arm break on NY

Kimuriata as it was called, even though a double wrist lock or ude garami, my man Karo P. Standing rolling to ground

and heel hook flying scissors into it on Anderson of course......

Dynamic standing to ground subs are more exciting than static ones


OSP should get love to, Calf Slicer/knee compression, Von Flue, and Hammer Lock.............
