Tom Aspinall submits Andrei Arlovski GIFS

the RNC was locked as deep as possible immediately. he wasnt expecting it and really had no escape from it at that point. you only have a few seconds once the choke is that deep.

it wasn’t deep at all. Aspinall had the hand on top of the head, not behind. No hooks in either, all Arlovski had to do was pull the hand off the top of his head and he was out.

The arm was completely wrapped under the chin before he even got the lock. It was completely wrapped up. He had body position riding him and his foot in front of arlovski too.

the sub came fast and andrei wasn’t ready and got caught, it was over. It’s painful and you only have a couple seconds before you go to sleep anyway
 
Arlovski is so up and down... he looked awful tonight.
 
Impressed how fast Aspinall capitalizied on the position, Arlovski was really lazy I expected more from someone so experienced.

This is completely not true. Doesn’t matter if the arm is under the chin, if you can strip the hand off the top of the head you are out of the sub. You want to sink an rnc deep? bury your hand behind their head.

The choke was still super deep, you can still lock it in as deep as possible with a crazy squeeze from the head, it’s just easier to defend
 
Arlovski made little effort to get out. Imagine he felt less painful then getting GNP out which was his other option. Father Time , he had a fun run. Nice win for Aspinall.

Sorry man but Arlovski straight up quit. All he had to do was reach up and pull the hand off the top of his head and he was out. Simple escape but he wanted to go home.

I’m just saying, imagine you have a guy sneak a fully locked in RNC on you before you even thought about defending. Regardless of how easy it is to say fight the hand, I’m sure you know what a completely locked in choke feels like, especially if the guy has a good squeeze. He never saw it coming and felt it was in before he did anything at all, it’s not something you just escape.

Besides Andrei fought through a crazy flurry when he was actually rocked in the first, he didn’t fight through that just to give up his neck later.

I’ve been in hundreds of rncs over eight years of bjj. That’s how I know Andrei straight up quit because he wanted out of there lol all good though man, you’re probably right he was still rocked from the first round and was scared of taking gnp if he got out.

My impression too, had he fought the submission he would have gotten koed. He was in a bad position

I hate to say it, but as experienced as Arlovski is (20 year career) its shocking to see him so easily submitted after not even putting up any basic grappling defense against the RNC.

Its like tapped immediately feeling the slightest discomfort.

I think it had more to do with him being legitimately rocked/ready to quit from hitting his head against the turnbuckle than it being super sunk.
 
total dive. cashing on us suckers that wanted to duplicate our bets when AA beat that mullet guy last time

It felt to me like the takedown might have pretty badly winded him.
 
Aspinall is crazy fast for a HW, phenomenal hand speed, and damn quick in grappling as well.

However, the way he backs up in a straight line with his chin in the air, and how much his chin gets exposed in general..it will get him punished sooner or later.
