    The recent Werdum-Fedor and Silva-Sonnen wins have shown that the triangle is a very effective submission.

    What are the best 5 triangles you've ever seen finish an MMA fight?

    my personal favourite was Maia-Sonnen, the set-up was ****in brilliant starting with the throw.
    I'm a big fan of Maia and Sonnen is a mong.

    First one that came to my head was Maia vs Sonnen and that inverted triangle while on someone's back in Bellator i think unbelievable

    Yea, same for Werdum-Fedor.

    They were both really armbars from the triangle position. Another great triangle-armbar:

    1) Royce Gracie vs Dan Severn
    2) Werdum vs Fedor - though it was technically an armbar/triangle combo
    3) Nogueira vs Coleman
    4) Maia vs Sonnen
    5) that crazy ass standing reverse triangle by that guy in Bellator.
     

  14. Yeah the Eagle is definitely one of the great M1-Global prospects, great on his feet and on the ground. The submissions he does is crazy sometimes.

    Damn I havent seen this fight before, thats crazy what happened there....I havent seen anything like it.

    Nate Diaz where he flexes to the crowd once it's locked in, then he finishes.
