5 UFC fighters with signature submission holds

#2. Ronda Rousey - former UFC bantamweight - Armbar

Ronda Rousey has won nine fights via armbarOleinik has 13 wins via ezekial choke

Ronda Rousey's armbar may be the single most feared submission hold in UFC history. Her career began with seven consecutive first-round submission wins via armbar. The eighth, against Meisha Tate, went into the third-round but once again finished with an armbar victory for Rousey.

She added one more win via armbar before the conclusion of her MMA career, taking her final tally to nine wins via this hold. Rousey's ability to set up this move was incredible and opponents seemingly had no answer to it, particularly in the early stages of her career.

While Rousey's MMA career did not finish in the way she would have hoped, she has been able to very successfully re-invent herself as a WWE Superstar. She has taken the armbar with her in her new role and continues to pick up many a win with her signature submission hold.

#1. Aleksei Oleinik - UFC heavyweight - Ezekiel Choke

Oleinik applying his signature submission

Aleksei Oleinik may not be the flashiest fighter the UFC has ever seen, but his knowledge of MMA submissions might be unparalleled. Only a small sample of his 77 fight career has taken place inside the octagon, but 'The Boa Constricter' has been locking in his signature ezekiel choke for years.

Oleinik has won a ridiculous 47 fights via submission in his career, of which 14 have come via ezekiel choke. On November 23 2007, he even won a middleweight tournament, defeating three men in one night, all via his signature ezekiel choke. Incredibly, he has plenty of other tools in his arsenal.

The ezekiel choke is far from the only feather in Oleinik's bow. He won his most recent bout via the rare scarf hold submission, which is another favorite of this dangerous submission artist. While he may have several options, 'The Boa Constrictor' and his ezekiel choke are truly a match made in heaven.
