Great submission

or THE GREATEST SUBMISSION?

8 months left in the year but I can’t see anything topping this.

Turning an Iranian lift into an inverted triangle that puts your opponent to sleep standing is just, well, amazing.

EPIC INdeed

Definitely the Submission to beat for the year. Nothing more satisfying than seeing an awesome upset over a fighter that was supposed to walk through this fight.

Forget submission of the year.

That joins Sato’s flying armbar and Chonan’s fyling scissors heel hook as one of the greatest submissions EVER.

Could Jorge have just sat down hard and slammed Imada’s head on the canvas to defend it?

by EazyEismydad on May 4, 2009 1:06 PM EDT reply actions

Final foul in the book

25. Spiking an opponent to the canvas on his or her head or neck.

Dropping you opponent would be allowed, but I believe sitting down hard to drive your opponent’s head into the mat would be considered a foul.

Urijah Faber has done it without being called on it.

Yes, to Chance Farrar off a similar Iranian lift, but referees seem unable to officiate spiking calls properly.

For all the points Marquardt was deducted, I was incredibly suprised when the ref didn’t DQ him for his “piledriver” of Thales Leites. Although…it was pretty awesome. haha

by Kaleb Kelchner on May 4, 2009 7:22 PM EDT up reply actions

wouldnt spiking

be an offensive move? And pulling it off would imply control. I dont think a ref would penalize a fighter if he dropped to the ground when someone was on his shoulders/head.
