In 2013, the Ultimate Fighting Championship continued to grow as they put on a whopping 387 fights inside of the octagon. Out of the hundreds of fights, only 67 were ended by way of submission and it was two submission holds that accounted for 49 percent of the finishes.

A user on the popular MMA Underground forum, Tycho, went through all of the statistics to compile charts of each finish, which shows that the most preferred submissions were a rear-naked choke and guillotine.

Here is the full breakdown of the 2013 submission finishes:

You can also see that the armbar follows closely behind, but the chokes still catch a fighter more often than not.

Will the trend continue in 2014 or will fighters begin to defend the rear-naked choke and guillotine more often now that the numbers have been crunched? We will have to wait and see.
