Unusual Americana / Kimura shoulder lock submission hit in ONE MMA bout by Eko Roni Saputra

Today saw the event, ONE Reign of Dynasties which featured several MMA fights over in Singapore. Perhaps the most peculiar submission of the year was witnessed in the fight between Indonesian Eko Roni Saputra and Murugan Silvarajoo. Here Saputra put his opponents near arm behind his leg whilst in side control. As he twisted his leg upwards and pushed down on the elbow, it put massive force on the shoulder of Silvarajoo who was forced to tap.

Interestingly, the commentators were clearly quite shocked by this and didn’t really know what to call it. However, this was no fluke and Saputra clearly guided the arm into his legs to set up the submission. The sub can be seen in the below video which is from the official ONE channel. It starts at 1 hours, 5 minutes and 20 seconds.
