“Ten Best MMA Armbars”

The ten best MMA armbars are as follows:

(0) – First up to bat – Rickson Gracie shows off the step over armbar from side control, showing the scientific view of how the armbar works. He’s just showing the move, not executing it in a fight so it doesn’t count toward the top 10.

(10) – Sakuraba vs Randleman. Notice how Sakuraba utilizes the kimura control – Randleman uses a wrestling suplex and attempts to take the back, but boom – Sakuraba weaves his arm into the kimura control and reverses the position with a roll/sweep, eventually getting the belly down armbar.

(9) – Carlos newton vs Pele – Quick transition into a perpendicular armbar from guard.

(8) – Frank Mir vs Tim Sylvia – Sylvia unsuccessfully stacks the guard and pops his elbow.

(7) – Dong sik yoon vs Zelg Galesic – Dong starts in the mount, goes for the armbar and Zelg tries to immediately reverse it. Notice how Dong controls the leg as they roll and before he extends down to finish. Smooth.

(6) – Enson Inoue vs Randy Couture. Sorry Randy.

(5) – Fedor vs Coleman. Coleman gets pwned, part 1.

(4) – Nogueira vs Coleman. Coleman gets pwned, part 2. Nog shows the triangle bar combo.

(3) – Masakazu Imanari vs Robbie Olivier. Before the underpass, there is an armbar waiting for you.

(2) – Dustin Hazeletvs Josh Burkman. My favorite armbar. Sneaky sneaky.

(1) – Rumina Sato vs Charles Taylor. Flying armbar, first round.
