Although not known for their mixed martial arts coverage or MMA news, AskMen.com has put together an worthy list of the ten “best” submissions in the sport. Most hardcore MMA fans will be familiar with all of these subs, however for some of the newer fans there are probably a couple here you haven’t seen before. What’s nice about their list is that they they have video clips (a mix of instructional and footage from MMA matches) of each submission on their list with moves ranging from the ultra popular Rear Naked Choke to the more obscure Omoplata.
Below, coming in at number six on their list, is the Arm Triangle:
Just in time for UFC 94, THQ has released a trailer for the UFC new video game featuring BJ Penn and Georges St. Pierre. UFC 2009 Undisputed has been one of the most anticipated video game releases in years, especially within the mixed martial arts community.

Leading up to Saturday’s Affliction M-1 Global event where Fedor Emelianenko will take on Andre Arlovski, here’s some footage of Fedor in his fight preparation. After 30 hours of traveling, the camera crew catches up with Fedor in a training session, then it’s off to a Russian bookstore in New York, followed by a trip to the market where Emeliamenko stocks up on some food. Nothing too exciting, but it does show you just how humble of a guy Fedor is.

Sorry UFC, when it comes to heavyweights, you just can’t touch Affliction. On January 24, 2009, arguably the greatest pound-for-pound fighter in MMA, Fedor Emelianenko will take on former UFC champion Andre Arlovski. After Fedor’s impressive destruction of other UFC champ Tim Sylvia, the smart money is obviously on Fedor. My question to you is, in what round and by how will he win?
Geez, after the bitching and moaning this guy did after his loss to Amir Sadollah at last night’s The Ultimate Fighter Finale, it’s a bit of a surprise how easily he admitted to tapping post fight. Obviously he had a chance to look at the video and knew there was no use in denying it further. UFC.com has a short video clip of CB getting interviewed after the fight where he says he made a mistake and needs to learn some more jiu-jitsu.
