Ever wonder what submissions are the most commonly used in the UFC (http://www.mixedmartialarts.com/mma.cfm?go=news.search&phrase=UFC)? UGer Tycho (http://www.mixedmartialarts.com/mma.cfm?go=account.profile&user=346489) did, so he counted em and here are the results in graph form.
Tychi explains his methodolgy:
I counted all these manually by looking through records. I counted and added and graphed them using excel. When I had video footage available, which was often, I would view the submission especially if it seemed weird somehow. I usually try to fit a submission into an existing category, unless it seems significantly different. An armbar from guard and an armbar from mount are the same. I didn't originally want to list "Triangle Armbar" as a submission but it turns out they are fairly common, and might be under counted. Because I do not take from the records verbatim, this is an interpretative study, and hence almost certainly contains errors. So don't take this as 100% accurate. But it also means I have complete records, so if you have a question about an individual event or fight I can answer it/check it/correct it.
•This study counts submissions as we normally think of them. Tapping to strikes, injury, fatigue or frustration are not submissions. "Technical submissions" as stopped by refs are counted. Submissions are, where possible, counted even if the official result was later overturned to NC, though I can't be sure I caught all of these.
•Submissions are listed on the pie graph if they comprise at least 10% of subs from that time period. Otherwise they are listed in "Other".
•The graphs usually but not always use names from BJJ.
Every fight and every sub in the UFC's history:

1993-1999
“Choke” and “Armlock” are what the official records show. Were possible I watched the fight to define it more precisely eg "Choke" becomes RNC upon viewing. These early records are spotty and not very reliable.

2000-2005
These fights all took place under the modern, unified rules. I lumped them together because there are so few compared to future events.
