Top tien zitten een paar mooie tussen!
#10: Alexander Otsuka's double-armbar vs. Mike Bourke
PRIDE 11, 10/31/00
Dusting himself off after a pathetically botched dropkick attempt early in the fight (see the video's 0:38 mark), Otsuka begins working his jiu-jitsu against the tank-topped American brawler. When Bourke starts to hang out with one arm posted and the other throwing down telegraphed punches, the "Diet Butcher" seizes the moment, snapping his legs over Bourke's head and torquing both of his arms simultaneously. Bourke is so screwed he has to tap
#9: Ivan Salaverry's anaconda body lock vs. Tony Fryklund
UFC 50, 10/22/04
We usually think of the body-triangle as a technique used to soften up an opponent before or during a rear-naked choke. It takes real talent to actually finish somebody with it. After taking Tony Fryklund's back, Salaverry passes up the neck and instead wrenches his arms around Fryklund's body, driving his hips forward to exert maximum pressure on the spine and ribs. Fryklund has two options at this point: Allow himself to be cracked like a walnut, or scream for mercy. Fortunately, he makes the right choice.
#8: Nate Diaz's Stockton-style triangle choke vs. Kurt Pellegrino
UFC Fight Night 13, 4/2/08
A Stockton-style triangle choke is like a regular triangle choke, except it's performed with no hands, allowing the practitioner to give double-middle-fingers to his opponent, the audience, and indeed, the entire universe.
#7: Naoyuki Kotani's leg-scissor choke vs. Daisuke Nakamura
ZST 22, 11/23/09
When Kotani transitions his way on top of Nakamura about a minute into the fight, it seems like he's in the perfect position to fall back into a straight armbar. Instead, he goes another way with it — clamping his legs around Nakamura's neck and squeezing until Nakamura goes limp.

#6: Chris Haseman's chin-in-eye vs. Elvis Sinosic
Caged Combat 1, 3/22/97
Before the Unified Rules (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixed_martial_arts_rules#Unified_rules) outlawed all forms of eye-gouging, the ol' chin-to-the-eye was a painfully effective way of ending a fight from the top. Though fighters like Mark Kerr and Mikhail Illoukhine have also pulled it off in competition, Chris Haseman (http://www.cagepotato.com/completely-unnecessary-rematch-alert-pt-2-elvis-sinosic-vs-chris-haseman) deserves special recognition for submitting two opponents with his chin in the same night, at an eight-man tournament in Australia. Directly before his fight with Sinosic, Haseman was able to chin-out Hiriwa Te Rangi in 55 seconds. Unfortunately he couldn't make it three in a row, as Mario Sperry submitted him via strikes in the finals.
#5: Shinya Aoki's "Aokiplata" vs. Katsuhiko Nagata
DREAM.4, 6/15/08
You know you're a badass when you land a submission so rare that it's named after you. While there are much easier ways to end a fight once you've scored mount, Shinya Aoki is an artist, and he wanted to show us something beautiful. Skip to the 4:50 mark and witness the skill and flexibility required to choke somebody out with a gogoplata from the top. And those pink/blue/orange/green grappling tights? Impeccable.
