Top 7 Submissions ever

Like all my top lists, in no particular order.

*Ryo Chonan over Anderson Silva (December 31, 2004) - I'm still not sure if what it is listed as in the sherdog fightfinder is accurate, a Flying Scissors Heel Hook, but I do no it was impressive as hell.

*Dustin Hazelett over Josh Burkman (June 26, 2008) - Years from now, it will just be in the recorded in the record books as an armbar submission victory, but how he set that up coming over the top from whizzer position, incredible.

*Toby Imada over Jorge Masvidal (May 1, 2009) - Sure some schools may teach the inverted triangle choke,but nobody ever expected anyone to actually ever pull it off in a fight did they?

*Shinya Aoki over Katushiko Nagata (June 15, 2008) - Maybe it had been done before, but that was the first time I ever saw a gogoplata done from the top.

*Rumina Sato over Charles Taylor (January 15, 1999) - Flying armbars are pretty rare. Flying armbars that happen 6 seconds into the fight? Even rarer.

*Carlos Newton over Kazuhiro Kusayanagi (March 1, 1998) - Newton looked to be in serious trouble with his arm cranked behind his back, and two seconds later he had picked up the armbar submission victory.

*Genki Sudo over Leigh Remedios (July 13, 2002) - Not the submission so much, but the speed in which Sudo took Remedios' back still to this day impresses the hell out of me.
