#2 Matt Hughes Rear-Naked Choke on Frank Trigg (UFC 52)

#1 Anderson Silva Triangle Choke/Armbar on Chael Sonnen (UFC 117)

I have to say I think its a ridiculous list.
Anderson silva in there three times for a RNC and two basic triangle chokes! \And no Damien Maia for his slick submission over Sonnen!
That list is a joke.
What do you think?

Talk about trying to big up anderson silva

Why was his crane kick any better than Machidas?
Chris Weidman????
He KO'ed a guy with his hands down by his waist, hardly joint best KO in UFC history!!

Who the hell compiled these lists?!!

Mr. Manager

Edson Barboza should take number 1 for the KO list.

gimmick

Barbozas on Etim is probably the most "holy shít" moment I have ever had watching a fight. Incredible.

Like all lists, they are subjective and one fellas list will be completely different from the next.

Between that and Uriah Hall on TUF. I still wince when I watch that

ASOT

How Jones choke on machida isnt on that list amazes me.

evil_seed

The twister. Names completely escape me right now. That has to be #1 due to there being 2 seconds left and just the technicality of the sub

PauloConn

Yeah, some silly picks alright but you wonder if some of the picks are to hype upcoming fights over the next few weeks.
I would have had the twister higher up and the silva v sonnen one is probably up there due to the fact that Sonnen was on his way to victory through the 5 rounds and slipped up.

Mr. Manager

What about that neck crank from Maia? The pop in his nose when the blood runs out... ugh

Mr. CooL ICE

I agree with about 10 each from those lists, but it seems like they're trying to evenly spread them across the entire timeline and trying not to focus on any one era.

Marquardt's KO of Maia and Brandao's armbar on Bermudez should be there IMO.

Easy Rod

No Dustin makes me sad.

stealinhorses

I don't think the list is necessarily about the technical aspects of the KO/submission, but rather how important it was for the UFC + holy **** factor (hence the Weidman KO and some GnP finishes from Chuck and the like).

Silva over Sonnen might have been a "basic triangle", but its not just the sub its self, its significance comes from what happened in the previous 4 and a half rounds. There's some that don't deserve to be there, that isn't one.







#6 Chuck Liddell on Randy Couture at UFC 52 (2005)

Why was his crane kick any better than Machidas?

Yes.
Silv'a wasn't a crane kick btw. It was a front kick.

Chris Weidman????
He KO'ed a guy with his hands down by his waist, hardly joint best KO in UFC history!!

Again, significance. Not the KO itself.

It's there at #9.
Should be higher.

#9 Chan Sung Jung Twister on Leonard Garcia (UFN 24)

pablohoney87

Lists are slightly biased towards guys still in the UFC/Retired on food terms or came back a few times becoming regular fixtures there.
No Kongo on pat barry/ Frank shamrock slam or tito on evan tanner.

Dustin's armbar not bein in there is a tragedy
