Wristlock finish?

[Headkicktoleg]

Has there ever been a wristlock finish in MMA? I literally can't think of any in the UFC or Bellator. I actually just tapped to one on thursday which made me think of this.

The guy getting subbed could just complain about grabbing gloves

You know the answer to that

How much did she weigh?

I'd guess around 190ish

No small joint manipulation allowed under the unified rules.

You sure not more like 119ish?

apparently the unified rules need to enter the DANGER ZONE

wrist and ankle locks are legal. finger and toes are not

nah it was an African American man around 6 ft tall. So probably closer to 190 than 119

Wrist isnt small joint just like an ankle isnt. Fingers and toes ARE

Wrist locks aren't small joint manipulation though.

My answer would be that it's a combination of the gloves (that you are not allowed to grab) and the wrapped wrists that makes it more difficult to secure a wrist lock and not really even worth going for.

Lol just a dumb joke. Loisestrad asked how much did she weigh. Said the 119ish because of that pridejitzoo guy getting subbed by a 115 lb chick lol.

Did he apply it explosively?

Anything 116 and up and you're safe.

Wasn't Royce vs Akebono a wrist lock?

Wrist locks only work on novices.

Also, what position makes a wrist lock a sub better than a kimura, armbar etc.?
