2 - Paul Craig-Magomed Ankalaev (WATCH ON UFC FIGHT PASS)

Scotland’s Paul Craig was moments away from retirement as Magomed Ankalaev put him on the canvas, seemingly about to secure his first UFC win at Craig’s expense. But in the miracle comeback of all miracle comebacks, Craig threw up a triangle choke and forced Ankalaev to tap out. The time of the victory, which earned Craig a Performance of the Night bonus and a new UFC contract? 4:59 of round three.

No submission is comfortable for the one on the receiving end of it, but some appear to be more painful than the others. Enter the Suloev Stretch (named after UFC / PRIDE vet Amar Suloev), a kneebar-like hold that will do (bad) wonders to your hamstrings. On September 8 in Dallas, the rare submission was pulled off not just once, but twice, with Aljamain Sterling finishing Cody Stamann and Zabit Magomedsharipov ending Brandon Davis’ night in emphatic fashion. So how do we separate the two victors on this list? We don’t. Let’s just call it a tie for number three.

4 - Aleksei Oleinik-Junior Albini (WATCH ON UFC FIGHT PASS)

A prime example of the adage that life begins at 40, Aleksei Oleinik continues to impress at 41. So if you’re wondering if he was going to slow down, just go back to May, when he picked up yet another submission to remember, finishing Junior Albini with the Ezekiel choke that is rare to everyone but “The Boa Constrictor,” who has used it to finish 11 – yes, 11 – opponents.
