#3 Cross Arm Breaker
In MMA, a split second can be the difference between a broken arm and a safe tap. One of the more dangerous submission holds is the armbar, where a fighter puts pressure on their opponent’s elbow joint.
Ronda Rousey has perfected her armbar technique - known as Juji Gatame, thanks to her extensive background in judo. The armbar or armlock is also one of the most commonly used submission holds and can have devastating effects if the opponent doesn’t escape or tap out in time.
Former WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio uses this technique - called the Cross Arm Breaker as his finisher.
Former SmackDown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch uses a variation of the armlock called the Dis - arm - her, which is a seated Fujiwara armbar. One other Superstar that frequently uses the armbar submission hold is the current NXT Women’s Champion, Asuka.
