Rafael dos Anjos’ Explosive Armbar Finish!
The armbar is one of the most effective submissions in both
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and MMA. There
are a large variety of setups and techniques that can be used to finish an
opponent via armbar. At Evolve
University, both our BJJ curriculum and MMA curriculum teach the armbar and its
many setups.
In this video, Evolve Fight Team member and UFC lightweight
contender Rafael dos Anjos shares one of his favorite techniques for finishing
the armbar. In addition to being
one of the top lightweight MMA fighters in the world, Rafael is also a highly
accomplished Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt. It is safe to say that Rafael is no stranger to the armbar
submission. Check out the tutorial
