After you get the chance to vote for the UFC Knockout of the Year, in front of you is the choice of the best coercion to surrender or “submission” performed during 2021 in the Octagon.
The four nominees are Glover Teixeira, Brandon Moreno, Vicente Luque and Khamzat Chimaev.
Glover came to the nominations thanks to the end of the fight against Jan Blachowicz, that is, the suffocation by which he took away his title. With his suffocation, Moreno became the first Mexican to win the UFC title, while Luque escorted Tyron Woodley out of the UFC with his intervention. The last is Khazmat Chimaev who strangled Li Jingliang. With the addition of how he did it against a fighter without any “ground game.”
To us, this choice seems to be quite marketing-oriented, since this year the Octagon has seen a lot more moves that are quite difficult to perform. In short, four chokes were nominated, and no levers. But, obviously, the importance of the fight was looked at, as well as the additional building of the hype, we all already know well which fighter.
We will just say that this year two BJJ grandmasters, Jacare Souza of Andrea Muniz and Rodolfo Viera against Anthony Hernandez, suffered defeats with much more impressive techniques.
All in all, you can vote for your favorite HERE.
