The 2021 Heavies Awards: Submission of the Year (Winner: Andre Muniz)

[Buff]

Nunes was against woeful opposition, but that armbar was one of the funniest/most humiliating moves we've yet seen to finish a fight, so I voted for it.

What an amazing year for submissions in MMA! As a grappling enthusiast going through this list really made me excited for the new year. Nominees were decided for various reasons ( the pure shock, the transition into, broken limb, going to sleep, etc) there are a few other honorable mentions that I will add later. VOTE!!!! VOTE!!!!

Amanda Nunes (armbar from reverse triangle) UFC 259

Anthony Hernandez (guillotine) UFC 258

​

The biggest acheivment is submitting Vieira, however that had less to do with skill and more to do with Rodolfo being absolutely gassed.
I voted for Muniz, although one could say that had more to do with Jacaré being completely washed.

Nunes triangle is great too, but can't vote for her because of the lack of competition. Anderson isn't exactly some kind of killer.

Great list, TS -- think I'd go with Muniz, but not an easy selection.

Gotta be Muniz due to context and brutality.

I’ve spent much of my mma watching time in the past six months or so trying to learn more about grappling. It’s pretty amazing and I also love the scrambles and positioning. Appreciate when people here describe it, as I’m not great at putting it all into words.

Some grapplers are so good in the scramble they make it look like they're practicing super smooth parkour on their opponents body. Climbing, transitioning, finishing. They're very eloquent and fluid at movement of the human bodies entangled with one another.
