The reverse triangle from Grant was so sick. The twister was beautiful but I have to give it to Davey.
hell no, davey grabbed the cage with his hand during the takedown and with his toes while securing the sub. can’t believe he’s even considered. cheated twice in less than 15 seconds to get that sub
The twister is pretty wild too only 3 even recorded in history
There was no set up for that reverse triangle, he just got the position given to him. Blackshear in the other hand, worked his way to that twister
I gotta agree w giving sub of the year to Blackshear
@@st.thomasaquinas19Oh stop, the alleged cage grab was absolutely inconsequential. Stop being silly.
The winners of these awards should be based off degree of difficulty, NOT how big or important the win was.
There’s no reason why Josh Emmett should be off the list of nominees for KO of the year. He hands down had the best KO of the year
Yea. Putting Jones vs Gane here was a fucking insult lmao. Gane is a fucking turtle on the ground, just ask Francis.
@@ImNotLuthienwho does a guillotine like that?? Only Jones
@@JrRanksNo, the best knockout of the year was from Adesanya.
I disagree
Davey takes the crown for me. Spinning back fist to one of the most scarce submissions in the UFC. So awesome
Lmao bro what are you doing? Taking someone’s OF content and uploading to YT?
@@bennyblanco4696 can girls not like the darts?
still not the FO to the MS @@Katyeyoga
Ok sex bot..
@@Katyeyoga what the heck is “darts”? Dark arts? hahaha
DC freaking out trying to figure out what Gane tapped to will never stop being funny 😂😂
it was a dive, you know it too
@@Aquafre5hI was thinking the same thing, Gane literally put his neck out there.
😂, it’s interesting do JJ haters still think this fight was bribed😅
To be fair, the video feed didn’t show Jon sinking in the choke. My friends and I were confused too because it only switches angles right when he taps. There’s a better view of Jon sinking in the sub that they should have shown
@@vladdracula8103you can also see from that last angle he seemed to get the forearm under his chin then jones put all his weight on top of ciyrl’s head which kinda like khabib’s submission of Connor wasn’t so much a choke as a neck crane
Great nominees, I would've expected Shavkats standing RNC submission of Geoff Neal to be on here though.
That was a sick sub. Vicious
what is the name of that submission? High school bullying choke?
@@yerkinakbergenov9382It's credited as a standing rear naked choke but is more like a standing fulcrum choke with a gable grip.
Grasso taking Shevchenko's back as a counter and then subbing her was astounding.
Right I cant believe it isn't even nominated!!
It was a crazy fast submission that wasn’t even under the chin. Technique was so good she was still going out. Should have been nominated
Real astounding, it happens dozens of times a year, lame.
@@PolishGypskiBefore Grasso, when was the last time it happened to Valentina Shevschenko? 🤦🏼♂️ Think.
@@PublicEnemyMinusOneShevchenko is dagestani or something?
Davey Grant has my vote
How Alexa Grasso is not on this list? Most unexpected and surprising submission of the year.
and Jone's choke on white belt Gane is...
How is there no shavkat, his sub vs neal was the nastiest and most brutal sub of the year
Beat me to it there, one of my favourites of the year.
And his walk off was badass as well
I was wondering that too
Because was just a RNC, this awards is not for the context of the sub is for how hard or strange the sub was
@@jaimexd1269Right, so what the fuck is jones and Gane doing on here…
That reverse triangle was insane. First a spinning backfist to drop him then to perfectly get his arm trapped along with his neck. The setup, quick thinking in the spur of the moment was incredible. There's no question Davey Grant got that
davey grant on assuncao, incredibly rare submission, fantastic potential for the guy
Nah he’s 38 yrs old as a bantamweight. Still has fun fights but not getting near the belt
Up and coming prospect Davey Grant lol
The Ezekiel choke in 4oz gloves may be the hardest choke to complete on the list. The twister is sick too
Even with a gi Ezekiel chokes are hard as fuck to pull off, but for a kickboxer to do it with gloves on is incredible.
It helps when you have long arms like Volkov's.
What about Alexa Grasso submitting Valentina Shevchenko to become the UFC Women's Flyweight Champion?
Fluke and lucky.
@@acanadian9776how much money did you lose on shevchenko bro 😂
Valentina made a ridiculous mistake and gave up her back. Obviously it was a pivotal moment in the division's history, but KO/sub of the year should be based on the technical difficulty of the performance itself, and we see submissions like that every other week.
@@dick-gs9tbshe did but also did grasso and was not submitted. Such a great fight. I like both fighters. I hope they run it back
Gotta go with the reverse triangle. That was insane.
Jon Jones is only on this list for name value. That sub happens every week in the UFC.
He moved up a class wasn’t fighting for years and subbed the man in 1 round
@@tonycardo874 "the men" being ciryl gane who was outgrappled by francis, i love jones but a guilliotine on a kickboxer ain't as inpressive as a twister, an ezikiel choke or a flying triangle to armbar(my personal sub of the year)
@@tonycardo874 Yeah subbed a man who has zero grappling or any type of submission game...
I don’t know how you don’t give it to Davey Grant
davey grant grabbed the cage while trying to stop the take down, then again grabbed the cage with his toes trying to secure the sub. that’s how
@@st.thomasaquinas19the fence grab was minor and so was the toe grab, you're dragging it
@@BBRT24 major enough for keith peterson to have to intervene, and if u do a bunch of small things to cheat one right after the other, it snowballs into a legitimately unfair advantage.
Keith Peterson smells of cigarettes and booze, he was drunk when he was in there. @@st.thomasaquinas19
Yes Jon Jones should definitely get submission of the year for submitting an elite grappler like Gane
francis (a boxer) out grappled this man
@@jules_jam2 it's joke bto
Nobody gives a shit elite grappler Gane or not, hes a mma fighter in top 5 heavyweight
@@VitasAndreev "hes a mma fighter in the top 5 heavyweight" ??
*Heavyweight has and always will be the LEAST skilled division in UFC history. So your statement is of no substance.*
@@jayluis189well, Gane is the one of the most skilled heavyweights. Still can’t believe how JJ haters are still crying and capping
Comparatively I don't think Jon's should even be considered and I'm a big bones fan
Steroid use should disqualify you.
It’s gotta be that triangle. The twister was solid but that triangle choking him out was clean.
a twister in an Mma fight is electric
I agree with you. The scarcity of that move wins it for me! Of the thousands of fights in UFC history and only 3 times has the twister been pulled off!!
davey grant deserves it, reverse triangle on a wizard like assuncao is crazy
just for a moment i thought DC is commenting... lol !!
thought Grasso would make the list, at least a nom
That Drago sub was flawless.
honorable mention to Shavkat submission over Neal
Just a quick reminder that Volkov didn't even get a bonus for that sub 😂
But i guess the nominee makes up for it
Love this part of year 😊
If that reverse triangle against a long time black belt doesn’t win then idk what to tell you
What about Alexa Grasso she scored the biggest upset of 2023?
The biggest upset was Strickland for sure
The reverse triangle was a clear winner
Imagine being nominated for submission of the year for submitting a kickboxer.
forgot Shavkat's standing choke
I think Dave Grant's submission is the best
Davey Grant, ladies and gentlemen👏👏👏👏
That roll to reverse triangle by Davey was sexy that should win
Not often you see a twister
A blackbelt on a average fighter with a 16-8 record you will. Not often you see a reverse triangle with 20 seconds to go on a legit blackbelt in a fight he was losing that puts him to sleep. Can’t believe this is even a discussion. Grants sub easily should take this.
1:39 this one was the best wow 🔥
Holy smokes that reverse triangle after being picked up like that needs the dub. That was hella sick
Grant by far! The only reason John is in this video is because they needed to add a "name" and a "face" to it.
hell no, davey grabbed the cage with his hand during the takedown and with his toes while securing the sub. can’t believe he’s even considered. cheated twice in less than 15 seconds to get that sub
@@st.thomasaquinas19 - Oh stop it. Davey was already putting it on him. Minor fence grab wouldn’t have made a difference to the outcome. Submission of the years not even close. Grant all day. You’re just hating and nitpicking.
@@CW-ke8rk “minor fence grab”? major enough for keith peterson to have to intervene, and if u do a bunch of small things to cheat one right after the other, it snowballs into a legitimately unfair advantage. cheated twice in less than 15 seconds to get that sub
@@st.thomasaquinas19 - There’s absolutely f all in the feet grab. Nothing. As for the minor fence grab, Assuncao was almost done and I’ll say it again wouldn’t have made a difference. Stop your nitpicking and trying to take away the brilliance of the submission.
Gotta be the reverse triangle. The twister was cool too but pulling that off on a 16-8 journeyman isn't the same as putting a BJJ black belt to sleep with a rare sub.
I submit Erin (Cold Blooded) Blanchfield submitting Jessica Andrade for consideration. Also very deserving is Alexa Grasso submitting Valentina Shevchenko.
That Volkov sub should win. Or Da'mon
1.volkov
2. Davey grant
3 . 🐐
The lack of some superior nominees may be the worst this year since a while...
Gotta be between the second or third. I’ll pick second though
Damon better win this award
Davey Grant’s was crazy to see live
It's probably not as technically or consequentially impressive, but I didn't think Shavkat's standing rear choke on Neal was really great. Probably more of a highlight because it was an awesome fight than on its own merits but it's the one I remember most clearly.
I just remind Volkov didn’t get 50k for performance of the night that night😳
How to vote?
Grant all day!
2:30 play at.25... Da'mon was out for a quick second. If Johnson would of kept punching then regained his arm position that fight would of ended differently. Talking about split seconds while getting hit in the face tho.. Props to Da'Mon. That submissions shouldn't be in the same category as the others on this list
Reverse Traingle or Twister deserves the dub.
I wish ufc had better angle view on chokes like the jones fight
How do you vote
diego lopes flying triangle to armbar should have been on here
No doubt Grant takes the Best submission, it was nothing but beautiful
Where’s Alexa grasso ???
I say Damon because a twister is almost like a wwe finisher it seems like you wouldn't be able to do it if someone doesn't let you
You gotta give it to the twister being only the thrid time in UFC history....
Finally, someone with some sense.
The twister looks so dangerous
put shavkat's one on geoff neal over jon jones
I completely forgot about the Davey Grant submission
Davy Grant, its incredible and unusual😮
anyone know the cool music in the background?
Volkov sub was ligit
Rakmanov vs neil have to be there. Stand up summision
How are you going to put a submission of the year nominee for a submission where a guy has basically been Tko'd and doesn't know what's going on?
Where is Shavkat’s big brother choke?
Davey grant!
Best of ufc honor
did blackshear grab the inside of his own glove to get that submission off? is that illegal?
Grasso vs Shevchenko??
Shavkat vs Neal??
1:57, was he already out?
Jones subbing a guy that has zero ground game isn't impressive at all. It's the same thing as a black belt rolling with a white/blue belt and wondering what would happen. Same thing with the Volkov sub.
It's definitely the reverse triangle or twister.
What was JJ technique ?
Who was a worse Referee this year? Kerry Hatley or Keith Peterson?
Jones vs gane... lol the must easy fight for jon ^^
And the best submition return ... of the year . Sure
Davey Grant 100% ... spinning back fist to reverse triangle 🥇
How was Rinat fakridinov not on here when he subd Kevin lee
Remember guys its called "Sports Entertainment"...if it was just skills it'd just be the sport factor, but for the entertainment factor the element of "story", buildup etc is key. based on that i'd give this to jones BUT personally i think Davey should get this. i could see a case for either tho
It's not called "Sports Entertainment", that's WWE. The reason WWE calls itself "Sport Entertainment" is because they are "Performing", NOT COMPETING. Competing is actual Competition, not Scripted Performances with planned outcomes. There's no RANKS, judges, etc.
Real Sports has no Pre-determined Winner - Basketball, Football, Soccer, Boxing, MMA, and any sport in the Olympics. All sports are for entertainment, so calling these sports "Sports Entertainment" is Redundant.
The only story that matters in these performance awards, is the story IN THE FIGHT, not the build up to it. Because it's just a fuckin Guillotine on a Kickboxer with no ground game who was outwrestled by Francis - who had no ground game. You stop being Racially bias, because Jones is black..
grasso vs shevchenko?
It's insane that Alexa Grasso's RNC against Valentina and Shavkat bulldog choking Geoff Neal both didn't make the cut. Still, if it can only be top 4, I don't think I can argue with the choices. They ought to at least give some honorable mentions though.
Davy Grant takes it for me. Last minute, down a point, and he hits a reverse triangle out of nowhere to put assuncao to sleep. I Haven't seen anything like that since Imada v. Masvidal.
Not having Shavkat sub is illegal
The JJ one is easily the best. Cyril runs through the div, JJ comes back after ages, goes to heavy weight and nearly puts Cyril to sleep. He does it so easily that he has everybody saying old mate took a dive. I am not a JJ fan but the dude is the best, makes hard thing look easy.
Shavkat?!
Grasso? Grant? Shavkat? hello???
Davey Grant gets my vote but I know Jon will get it and I’m okay with that
I feel like Twisters are automatic sub of the year.
That twister the guy had his fingers in his own glove that's super illegal, should be a NC. great sub otherwise just wish he hadnt cheated to get it.
What about Myra bueno silva!!
The Internet makes Ian Garry tap
where's bobby green vs tony?
Blackshear
Davey how is that a debate?
where is alexa grasso's submission
It's a crime that Shavkat isn't on this list
The standing bulldog Shavkat.
"what did he tap to?!?"
- Daniel DC.
Reverse Triangle for the win!! Yeah buddy!!
Do the fighters get any money for winning the award ?
Knowing Dana, probably not. Lol
