UFC 134 kicks off from Rio on Saturday with a bunch of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu masters on the card. Feeling like you need to get warmed up for all those upcoming submissions? That doesn't mean slapping an armbar on one of your friends. Someone will get hurt. Besides, that's why Complex is here. Peruse our list of the 50 best submissions of all time. Just promise you won't get choked up by our selections.
ps, submissions from strikes were not included in this list. That's for another time...

That's an arm triangle choke, not a triangle choke.

This is a great idea for an article so why ruin it by getting someone to write it who clearly has no idea about MMA? It's a shame really. I was amused by 'rare naked choke' though.

you're an idiot. mad about spelling mistakes? get real. at least be mad at the list if you really have a beef

I don't think he ever mentioned spelling mistakes, but he should have. Someone who is writing for a website such as this should be somewhat professional.

"I was amused by 'rare naked choke' though." as in, he was amused by the spelling mistake b/c it's "rear naked choke." i couldn't even find the mistake. ya'll are just hatin'

I take it these are in random order of greatness since Ryo Chonan vs Anderson Silva is at 49 ?

It's gotta be hard to put a list like this together so I think it was pretty good, but the twister should have been WAY higher.
