Best UFC Submissions EVERY YEAR SINCE 1993

[@Lowbro1351]

Man, I can't believe Chael Sonnen was involved in two of the greatest submissions ever! Truly the GOAT.

[@robertleite6650]

3 when he tapped out Tito

[@lula8347]

And he continues unbeatabble

[@benisontenison8225]

He knew he would be recognized in that fight and he wanted to give that win to the other fighter so he could have his moment. Chael stays playing the long game

[@nitrox1613]

Man I truly appreciate the more technical and better understanding of the sports commentary with Jon Anik but Goldberg’s “It is all over” and “Here we go” are such classic lines.

[@mathprodigy]

Yea. Goldberg and Rogan drove that shit in the 2000s. I love and appreciate Anik as much as the next guy. What I can't stand is casuals who SHIT on Goldie and suck Aniks dick. Goldie was a BROADCAST professional. He may not have had as much technical knowledge as Anik, but he was there in some of UFC's most important and formative years, as they became far-and-away the most successful MMA organization on planet Earth. It's ok to love them both, is all I would say to every single casual hater out there.

[@tristanjoao3464]

Yes I agree. This guy is great

[@ItsTheAtomicGamer]

MMA Dive did this with KOs not too long ago

[@bluesilkdesigns]

7:34 it happens so fast but damn. DJ could/can do it all. How fast he flows to the other side into the armbar... wtf. Then the move at 8:07 is still the greatest submission I've ever seen

[@miggareto]

Best sub of 1993 was undoubtedly when Royce Gracie submitted a boxer wearing one boxing glove by laying on top of him and giving him a panic attack because he couldn’t get up or get Royce off of him.

[@ARR409]

Chael is such a great fighter that he telepathically felt his opponent wanting to tap so he told the ref. What a great, undefeated guy.

[@thementalcase313]

9:50 I was doubting Jon Anik's professionalism for a sec, then looked up that it's Anthony "Fluffy" Hernandez lol

[@eltrucc9091]

ANTHONY FUCKING HERNANDEZ

[@m1nayondaime]

Notice how in every ''best X from the UFC'' mighty mouse is always there? GOAT for sure

[@jptothetree]

Wooowwwww all the way back in the days that _Knee Bars_ were "Ankle Locks" But for real, still one of the best ever is DJ's arm bar on Borg... still hard to believe that one!

[@ViolentMessiah666]

Dustin Hazelett's whizzer to armbar on Josh Burkman (submission of the year) & Maia's lateral drop to triangle on Sonnen shoulda made the cut imo

[@OnklOxl]

Hazeletts armbar was unreal. Miss Frank Mir's Kimura on Nogueira as well on this list

[@cainslawyer8058]

4:13 Chael was basically inviting the guy to submit him

[@LND209]

Because Chael is such a great guy

[@johnpedouify]

Are we forgetting about the night that Zabit and Aljamain BOTH hit the same knee bar from the back?

[@brandonthompson5796]

Chan Sung Jung aka The Korean Zombie should be a hall of famer, he's had too many legendary submissions to be ignored

[@seanblackwood8382]

DJ in my opinion was and still is the P4P number 1, damn underrated. PS: awesome compilation specially the early ones

[@saulohernandez9655]

2:36 Newton's arm is ridiculous!

[@RetroActivityGaming]

Because he had more drugs in him than a pharmacy.

[@paintcandan5972]

props for putting in the work to make this one. your channel is my favorite by a long shot, which includes the streams! i love everything you’re doing homie

[@H982FKL-TG]

Zabit's Banana Split vs Davis, and Khabib smooth transition armbar to triangle vs Gaethje (even this one won submission of the year i believe) should've featured. Anyway, great video ITP

[@nathanclark3575]

That banana split is legendary, you’re correct. I don’t know why it’s so easy for me to forget about.

[@desmond3399]

Zabit's is outshadowed because Aljamain Sterling did it earlier in the same night.

Dude 1999 should've been Jeremy Horn hitting Chuck Liddell with an inverted arm-triangle choke

[@Commonwealth96]

My favorite thing about Diaz's choke on McGregor is how he punched the guy's head in to get him into the right position. Some guys would just try to weasel their arm through but Diaz, being a fucking gangster, just hammers McGregors head in like a carpenter to lock in the sub.

[@nathanclark3575]

That rnc by Hughes on Trigg and BJ. Golden age lol. Never f with an Iowa farm boy… unless you’re a train. Also I forgot about BJ’s heeels to the liver while on the back. So crazy. And how can we forget the zombies twister… loved reliving so many excellent memories. Great montage.
