10 Most Unique Submissions In UFC History
6. Peruvian Necktie
Who: C. B. Dollaway vs. Jesse Taylor
When: UFC Fight Night: Silva vs. Irvin
The Peruvian Necktie just sounds nasty, and as the two blokes that have been on the receiving end of one could attest, is just as nasty to be choked out with.
Basically a heavily modified Guillotine, the Necktie sits somewhere between a choke and a neck crank, depending on how well you can actually get into position.
Either way, if you can tighten it up with the pressure of the top leg bearing down on the back of the neck, it's the end of the night for whoever is all wrapped in it.
It was first seen in the UFC back in 2008 thanks to C. B. Dollaway, who managed to wrangle a hapless Jesse Taylor into his twisting arms and legs.
It's arguably the second appearance of the move, coming in late 2019, that looks the better of the two.
As you can see in the video below, Latvian light heavyweight Misha Cirkunov managed to not only roll through as his opponent Jimmy Crute wrestled to get away from him, but he ended up securing the submission while facing down to the mat with his opponent on his back.
This is the opposite of the Dollaway instance, where he was leaning towards his back, with his opponent facing down to the mat.
That's the beauty of the move: there's never really been a set way to go about it, leaving any opponent open to multiple angles of attack if needed.
