DJ armbar was just beautiful, 10/10. you cant do it better

[@louischasseriaud7529]

Plus he would of won by points easily, the fact that he CHOSE to do it made it 11/10. Anderson Silva didn't have a choice but throw up that triangle.

[@mattjohnson3230]

Rightfully so, DJ’s flying armbar was first in this video. BJJ artists understand how beautiful and precise that armbar was. That’s something that lands in practice not in a big ufc bout. Truly remarkable

[@SwAvGamingElite]

Yup yup! Couldn't have said it better myself!

[@ttortolanii]

Yes and no. But more yes than no

[@greybouquet03]

Best submission I have ever seen.

[@ajellydonut0087]

Wasnt a flying armbar but it was just beautiful

[@noahcamiola7995]

That’s not a flying arm bar

[@JRF1004]

Demetrious Johnson is easily the greatest fighter of all time along with GSP, no controversies, no failed drug tests, unstoppable in their primes, 10+ world titles.

[@JRF1004]

@Sleazy yeah but he smoked Cejudo in the first fight and Cejudo went on to beat Dillashaw and Cruz, he also dominated Dodson twice who at one point beat Dillashaw and almost ko’d Petr Yan, he fought tough guys, they just weren’t noticed because it was a new division

[@theloniouswolf6504]

Honestly I think skillwise Demetrious Johnson was probably the best MMA fighter that ever lived

[@lionsden5123]

Could very well be the case. The man was absolutely unstoppable for years.

[@MandenTV]

DJ’s arm bar was absolutely insane

[@paydn202]

always love the von preux flue choke. in a street fight people love to hold on to the neck thinking they can get something without knowing they can be unconscious in seconds

[@elimerkley4834]

The second flying triangle was just beautiful he did everything right when he got to the ground, blocked the leg so he couldn’t stand up, rolled with the guy to get into the inverted triangle position, let go of the arm so he could keep the triangle. Just beautiful.

[@baptistem4377]

fun fact : the "inside arm lock" is actually called the Mir lock. The fighter performing it was the first to pull it out and so it was named after him. I landed few of them at bjj, and if it's setup properly (not like mines so, but i'm working on it XD), it's a real killer move which can catch a lot of people off guard. Also, it's pretty easy to add it in a closed or half guard system. Aproved ^^

[@TERRENCEJJR]

He Learned it from someone else, who Learned it from someone else, who.......

[@opinionated2902]

This video was awesome. Learned a lot. MMA is so technical. Huge respect for guys that train so hard to be able to do these things.

[@roniedaligdig1611]

The most insane transition is from DJ. Beautifully executed takedown to arm bar in mid air.

[@aiden1665]

A von flue is such an elusive and underrated submission. Typically any counter to a submission has to be preemptive because (by design) once a submission is sunk in there’s *almost* no way out. But often a von flue choke is sunk before you even realize you were being submitted, it capitalizes on the opponents tunnel vision when they’re so close to landing that guillotine. So how do you get out of a choke you didn’t know you were in? “Wait what the fuc- aghfkchkabaf!” -actual quote from a guy I did this to

[@yermom014]

Von Flue choke is definitely sneaky as hell, I kinda feel the same way about the ezekiel but you need to be pretty strong to pull it off reliably.

[@fogz8537]

I’m dead 🤣🤣🤣💀💀

[@kjunmariner]

Nick Diaz/Gomi should have been on here. The only Gogoplata I know of in MMA

[@timanderson5342]

I think shinya aoki hit a gogoplate once. Still very rare

[@jacksoncombs2865]

I was watching for it. I believe there was one in the last year or so, but they had to say it was only the second one ever after Diaz/Gomi. Love that submission

[@CayleBren]

Nobody: Nick Pace in the middle of a fight: I'm gonna try some shit y'all never seen before

[@gboy193]

From what I can tell, it looks like a combination of a triangle and an ezekiel. I wonder if he was taught "Concepts" vs straight submissions, cuz I imagine it's hard to imagine that shit up mid fight.

[@TCHill19]

Nick Pace: "I'm going to do what is called a GOD gamer move!" Everyone else: *Surprised Pikachu Face when opponent taps* Nick Pace: "We call it 'The Pace'!" Joe Rogan: "Let's call it 'The Pace'!"

[@agentcodybanx8909]

The Peruvian Necktie is my favorite submission. It just looks like a brutal submission

[@lionsden5123]

Basically any neck-related submission is brutal. It means they could’ve easily killed right then and there.

[@Altowner]

Anytime someone shoots and you sprawl it's there to attempt. It's one of those moves you forget about.

[@badger297]

Djs armbar was awesome but man that first twister looked painful as all hell

[@solomonbacon8893]

Djs arm bar was absolutely beautiful. My god, brought a tear to my eye😂👏

[@kickinwinghotboi883]

The Ezekiel choke, dude probably didn't even realize what was happening lol probably thought he was winning since he gained top control when the other guy actually gave it to him to execute the choke

[@gkprivate433]

I liked that second scene, the Twister. I remember when I learned about using the legs in my high school wrestling. No way out once you get the legs in there good like that

[@GardensAndGames]

I say it all the time: I have never seen anyone else use the shoulder lock that Mir used on Williams.

[@luisrosario3781]

To be fair, it kind of looks like an Americana/Keylock, but instead of side control or a crucifix position, it was from the guard position. Correct me if my terms are incorrect, as I'm no virtuoso of MMA concepts myself.

[@bretcollins894]

I literally had to watch the shoulder choke by Saint preux like 3 times to understand how he won by submission.

[@bababbsblabbing6684]

Honestly respect for not breaking it lots of people would’ve but he was just keeping him there letting him know that he could ✊🏿
