There's no denying that the art of submission has had a role in the 20 years of UFC history, which is we are showing you the greatest ground game wins in the Octagon!

6:45 Frank Mir Vs Tim Sylvia. Everyone in the arena was booing the stoppage and even the announcers questioned it. The only person who saw Tim's arm break was Herb Dean. Best ref stoppage all time.
@@rishabh_sk_kashyap9693 It wasn't the elbow joint, it was the bones in the forearm. Mir had the armbar a little low, but still had enough leverage and strength to break Sylvia's arm.
6:50 Man, Tim Sylvia was a beast. Had a broken radius bone from that arm bar and still managed to pick Frank up with that broken arm and slam him into the mat a few times before the referee stopped it in order to prevent Tim from doing greater damage to himself. I remember Tim actually fought with Herb over that stoppage and moved his arm around to prove it wasn't broken, but after the x-rays it was proven that it was broken, and Tim later thanked Herb for stopping it.

For the guy who tapped and then kept fighting after he was let go... every opponent he ever had after that probably held him a little longer and a little harder in their submissions.
What I love about grapplers in the UFC (and in general) is they can submit you even from the most undesirable positions. Notice how some of these submissions takes place from positions that are generally considered non-advantageous. You would not ever want to be on your back in a fight, unless you know Jiu Jitsu...
nope if you watch it in slow mo they were pretty light taps as if he was trying to reach his leg but couldnt and after he "tapped" he continued to fight. no one taps and continues fighting. refs fault but at full speed and with a fighter in danger it was the best bet
Forest over Shogun was a shocker to everyone. When Shogun showed up to the UFC, they were basically feeding Forest to him, and Forest pulled out the submission. Was an incredible moment for him.
#13 is one of the most unique triangles I've ever seen. Speaking of unique triangles, Anderson Silva's lanky frame allowed him to lock in triangles like literally nobody else was physically capable of. I'm happy to see three of those on this list.
That Anderson Silva moment was just spectacular. Watching it live made me really really nervous because I'm a Silva fan and seeing him lose his title was devastating. That submission was just a great moment
+kicks is life Id much rather be in a submission because I would tap out so quick if I knew I was not getting out. With Knockouts they can still get 2 or 3 headshots in after your on the ground
Vince Haddad When I was young, I didn't get ground game as much as I do now. I loved the stand up action, as I grew up, I could only watch the brilliance of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu ground game, its amazing in MMA. And the submissions? Always great!
Not gonna lie when I was younger I just saw it as 2 men just like laying on each other which so I saw it as pretty gay but I really enjoyed the stand up work. As I've gotten older a respect the ground game much more.
Am i the only one who watched UFC in the mid 90's when there were no weight classes? But yeah soon the sport will become a major world tournament, i dont mean olympics, but in a class of its own
Isiah Daniels Technically, that's strangles you're thinking of. Most of the "chokes" in Judo, BJJ etc are incorrectly named chokes, but are actually strangles.

@@user-ii3kn8zz1k If it does promote violence, then they should've rewarded Khabib for his antics after the fight rather than giving him a suspesion. It's a sport
I think just after years and years of being in submitted positions it’s probably just muscle memory and he didn’t even realize he was tapping cause he was in such trouble
I really miss the golden age of the UFC when it first became really polished/professional in the 2005-2012 timeframe. At the same time you had WEC events. On any given weeknight on cable during some of those years you could get UFC unleashed, WEC WrekCage, and PRIDE highlights(from Japan) with many of the up and coming UFC stars showing up in the PRIDE and UFC unleashed replays. It's practically all I watched after work in those days.
Not if you consider the context of the number one pick. Chael was dominating Anderson for over 4 rounds and they're both highly skilled on the ground, Anderson did so well to get that triangle in and effectively choke him out with it to defend his title in the fifth round. Also Chael apparently landed the most strikes in one fight ever.
4:47 That shoulder got popped right out! God that must hurt! Respect for not wanting to tap out, but idk if gettin it go that far is the right choice tbf
Anderson Silva is truly a legend in the sport. I honestly can see him being in every top 10 greatest moments or moves cause hes done so much. Hes definitely also in the greatest knockouts list.
I remember watching that Nate Diaz submission still one of the best I have seen...just because he knew he had it and just sat back and waited for the tap!
@Chad Barrett Yes I know that breaking someones arm is allowed, but why possibly take the risk of permanently damaging another fighter's arm and damaging their future? It's just a dick move.
the silva vs chael one was so crazy its hard 2 top if you think about how dominant andserson was at the time , plus look how slick that was considering
@Et Immortalem You just said "There were tons of more superior moves displayed in the video" then followed up by saying "There is no single best move... The best move is the move that is best in the position you're in." While I agree with you that the twister isn't "higher level bjj", I don't see why you go out of your way to discredit Jung's perfect execution and then go on to contradict yourself. If you're a practitioner of martial arts, please treat yourself and the art with more respect by being instructive rather than smug and hypocritical.
Et Immortalem bruh you know nothing you try the twister u would probably get reversed because you don’t know how to body lock and everything else on the list was stuff you learn on day one of being a white belt
8:23 "...and here we go!" Thats one of my favorite calls by any commentator for a moment in a fight. Made the slam even more awesome, borderline professional wrestling level.
4:35 man,,, mir tapping big nog has too be my favourite finish ever,,, the waay frank mir is just rolling with the kimura and breaks his shoulder,,,,, Oh and Joe Lauzon vs Jamie Varner was a nice finish too
That's how you know Anderson Silva is the best to ever fight. He has top submissions even though he is known as a striker. He is definitely the best all around fighter of all time.
People in the cage killing each other and they have to blur out Nate's middle fingers. haha.

Rogan: UNBELIEVABLE!
Haha iconic
I miss goldberg
@@jessesteele2620 Yeah, WCW wasn't the same without him.
I’ve seen this video an excessive amount of times now😂😂
2:00 aaah that old wrestler mentality of getting to the knees... not a good habit when it becomes a BJJ match. I feel ya, Dan.
Anderson Silva is truly a legend in the sport. I honestly can see him being in every top 10 greatest moments or moves cause hes done so much. Hes definitely also in the greatest knockouts list.
Frank Mir is a monster.
+Shoqstahh Yeah he got lazy and now he's out of shape.
Alister overeem sure pounded the fuck out of Mir though.
Alex Faan I can't believe how much submissions royce gracie owns though
Alex Faan Marcio Cruz made him look like a bitch
No Antonio nuguera is this is beast he fighf at pride and ufc he's the heavyweight division
I remember watching that Nate Diaz submission still one of the best I have seen...just because he knew he had it and just sat back and waited for the tap!
Silvas was so last minute and he was losing that fight. What a turn around. Was a great night. Was fun to watch. Great video
#1 Twister - korean zombie
#2 Kimura - Frank mir
#3 Triangle ambar - Anderson Silva
Fernando Calderon Beingolea
#4 any royce gracie submission
#5 double finger triangle - nate diaz
I'd have to give #3 to Nate diaz
#2 broke his arm like a chickrn wing
Herb Dean: "OH, SHIT!!"
8:18 Man: Matt came back was amazing 😌👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👌🏻
i dont mind a good KO but when i see a limb break especially in an armbar or kumara, it sends shivers right down my spine
That twister was probably the only one you will ever see in the UFC
정찬성이 1위 되어야 함!!
Unless your playing ufc 3
Nope
Last night bruh
The first in history
6:55 that "Oh shiiit!" from Herb
@@aimbot2441 he broke the arm, you can see it snap
Yeah, everyone booed him and he literally saved Silvya's arm from snapping in half. Even Tim says it in an interview
Where is the calf slicer from Brett Johns 🤔🤔🤔🤔
ManTheMan Frank Mir broke the most hands out of any UFC fighter, fuck frank mir
@Chad Barrett Yes I know that breaking someones arm is allowed, but why possibly take the risk of permanently damaging another fighter's arm and damaging their future? It's just a dick move.
the silva vs chael one was so crazy its hard 2 top if you think about how dominant andserson was at the time , plus look how slick that was considering
Herb Dean's "oh shit!" when he sees a man's arm snap in front of him is iconic lol
Man that twister was nasty! Beautiful move
THE COBRA TWIST!!!!
Jesus Christ lol.
@Et Immortalem You just said "There were tons of more superior moves displayed in the video" then followed up by saying "There is no single best move... The best move is the move that is best in the position you're in." While I agree with you that the twister isn't "higher level bjj", I don't see why you go out of your way to discredit Jung's perfect execution and then go on to contradict yourself. If you're a practitioner of martial arts, please treat yourself and the art with more respect by being instructive rather than smug and hypocritical.
Ya it's one of the most creative submissions in mma history
Et Immortalem bruh you know nothing you try the twister u would probably get reversed because you don’t know how to body lock and everything else on the list was stuff you learn on day one of being a white belt
8:23 "...and here we go!" Thats one of my favorite calls by any commentator for a moment in a fight. Made the slam even more awesome, borderline professional wrestling level.
Watching Anderson Silva again makes me smile 😀
4:35 man,,, mir tapping big nog has too be my favourite finish ever,,, the waay frank mir is just rolling with the kimura and breaks his shoulder,,,,, Oh and Joe Lauzon vs Jamie Varner was a nice finish too
That's how you know Anderson Silva is the best to ever fight. He has top submissions even though he is known as a striker. He is definitely the best all around fighter of all time.
Gsp,Jon Jones and Demetrius Johnson are better well rounded fighters but Anderson was definitely the best striker of all time
@@Nickdiazarmy1917 L
For sure
@@Nickdiazarmy1917 I think you meant to put “cheater” with Jon Jones’ name.
@@ilovecaulk2542 Silva’s also a drug cheat.
