Last year, as most of you probably know, Do Bronx surpassed Royce as the UFC's all-time submission leader (11). He's continued to build on that, bringing the total up to 13 w/ his anaconda finish of David Teymur in February. Remarkably, all but 1 of his UFC wins have come via sub.
Here's the question: Is he the greatest submission artist we've seen in MMA (not just UFC)? Again: submission artist. There are obviously a long list of better positional grapplers across all major org's.
The record is just part of his case. His versatility is incredible: 7 RNC's, 4 anaconda's, 3 guillotine's, 2 armbars, 1 triangle and 1 never-before-seen improv leg lock (inverted calf slicer). He's subbed multiple black belts (Hatsu Hioki, Jim Miller and Myles Jury, just off the top of my head). He's also the only man to sub Darren Elkins.
