who, even when he's stopped, comes up without actually having a loss on
his Octagon resume (hi Charles). This was the case against Waylon Lowe,
as "The Carny" was more or less getting his ass handed to him throughout
the entirety of the fight until he came up aces in the third with a
well-timed guillotine on a Lowe takedown attempt. Don't mess with the
tank, kids.
4. Chris Weidman strong-arms Jesse Bongfeldt with a standing guillotine at UFC 131Although this was just his sixth professional mixed martial arts bout
and it was on short notice, Chris Weidman went in like a boss and put
in work against Jesse Bongfeldt. His striking, the perceived weak point
in his game, was up to snuff, his wrestling was solid and, of course, he
was once again the submission machine he's quickly gaining notoriety
for being. He used all that to secure a late first round standing
guillotine for his second victory inside the Octagon.
3. Joe Lauzon makes short work of Curt Warburton at UFC on Versus 4If you look hard enough, you can find holes in any fighters game and
the biggest knock against Joe Lauzon is his lack of ability to perform
consistently at a high level. But when he's on point and rocking it,
there ain't no stopping him, ya heard? This was the "J-Lau" that showed
up in Pittsburgh on June 26 when he went out and made Curt Warburton a
bug on his windshield, knocking him around before submitting him in
about two minutes flat.
2. Pablo Garza flying triangle FTW over Yves Jabouin at UFC 129"They" say nobody likes a showoff but "they" are full of shit,
because when Pablo Garza decided to get funky inside the cage against
Yves Jabouin with a flying triangle choke, it was one for the ages. What
made it even more impressive was it was a follow up to his previous
fight which was one of the most stunning knockouts in promotion history.
Oh, and he did it in Toronto in front of 55,000 fans. Big timer.
1. Chan Sung Jung twists up Leonard Garcia at UFC Fight Night 24Revenge is sweet. Chan Sung Jung knows this well now that he got his
against Leonard Garcia with a submission that had previously never been
pulled off -- and maybe not even attempted -- inside the Octagon. Before
UFC Fight Night 24, maybe 5-percent of MMA fans knew what a twister
submission is. But after "The Korean Zombie" twisted up "Bad Boy" like a
pretzel and nearly broke his back, no one watching will ever forget it
