    Ishida over Wilcox via armbar from sacrifice throw

    So hard to chose, there are so many different ways to define best.

    Shayna's twister, Imanari's heelhook, toquinhos armbar, and Ishidas Armbar were all great, but so are all the others. Hendricks because he WILL be a champion in 2 years or so.

    This thread is pure gold.

    That Palrares armbar was the one I was thinking of when I clicked on this thread. What a sweet move.
