Kimura
Who has accomplished the best version of the kimura submission in your opinion?

My favorite has to be Takanori Gomi's Kimura win over Charles Bennett in Pride Bushido 5. Just a classic example of a well done Kimura.

2nd goes to Fedor's kimura on Kevnin Randleman after being dropped on his head at PRIDE critical countdown LOL

The kimura Roy Nelson would have beaten Arlovski with if the ref would have pulled his head out of his a*s and not stood them up : /

LOL, yeah I don't think so

As much as I didn't appreciate the ref standing up, in no way do I think Nelson would have taken AA in the end.

I think you named the two best ones, Fedor's over Randleman was a notch above Gomi's over Bennett in my book just because the kimura looked so incredibly solid, Fedor locked it up like he wasn't playing around.

I can't think of any that can top Fedors but I thought Gabe Gonzagas kimura on McCully has the be thebestone I've seen this year. He really cranked that deep from side mount..gotta be a BJJ expert to pull that one off that efficiently.

Agreed, Fedor has some of the best looking submissions I've seen. Just great technique. His reverse armbar over Coleman was just beautiful, the same with his one over Choi. I loved his Kimura over Mark Hunt as well.

I was just looking at his record. His last 6 fights have ended in submissions. 16 overall of his 29 wins.

Impressive

Haha, I've watched Fedor's training and seminar vids before. The man knows his sh1t I'll tell you that. And he always appears calm and relaxed. Just seems like a genuinely nice guy.

I'd get in the ring with Fedor for 36 seconds if they paid me as much as they paid Tim Sylvia
