Media Submission of the Year (Scorpion Crunch)

[Danis_champ]

I'v been training BJJ for years but have no idea that submission even existed.

Unrelated crunch, looked like he was trying to set a triangle for awhile before settling on this one. Not sure why dude didn't try to posture up at all.

Pretty sure it's a Scorpion Crush, but everyone in Bellator called it a Crunch.

Holy shit...I’ve literally never seen that before? It looks like it wouldn’t be that difficult to set up in guard, likely far easier then a triangle no?

 

[Tabarnakos]

Saw something similar in porn once. Well it wasn't exactly like that but pretty close

 

[Fossor]

Looks like something that will burn your whole gas tank. Still looks cool

 

[jkthenatural]

I mean.. that’s not working on a man, right

 

[mb23100]

What exactly is happening? Is it putting pressure on the spine?

 

[Nihongi]

Have never seen that, what exactly is it supposed to be hyper extending?

 

[Bubba Kid]

We'll probably never see a submission like that again. You have to be horrible to be caught in something like that just like the dude who got caught in the Boston crab a few years back.

heard John say that this Submission is common in children's competition because their rib cage is weak at young age. The chick that got submitted is 19 years old. I don't think any male fighter has or ever will tap to that stuff.

Never seen that before. Reminds me of the questionable double armbar Otsuka did in Pride.

I've seen leg scissor chokes set up like that around the neck, but around the midsection? It's a pain move more than anything, that girl must have thighs like Xenia to get the tap.

tapped my step dad with this when i was a teen. in a pool though and it was more like a floating guard but it worked. mostly because i had size and strength. plus he is a little pussy.
in mma? never thought i would see it

Ah I see, even still it seems like if you’re the one on top, you could break it off somewhat easily by getting your arms inside, and pushing out

 

[AleYeah]

Looks like something I saw in a stepsisters vid on... another site.

You underestimate the amount of low skilled wmma fighters.

 

[xHeadx]

Wild that that ended the fight.

I think it is the rib cage. I've been training awhile and hadn't seen it. Guessing you could just posture up, put a forearm in the opponents face and push your way up and out? Hindsight is 20/20.

I mean, there was this whole trend many years ago about in shape women being able to crush watermelons with their thighs because they are supposed to have more thigh strength than men... maybe it’ll become the new “thing”
