THE RAREST SUBMISSION OF ALL TIME 🌀 | Every Twister Submission in UFC History
One Of MMA's Rarest Submissions
Some submissions are seen regularly in MMA.
Rear-naked chokes.
Arm-triangles.
Guillotines.
Armbars.
But the Twister is different.
It is one of the rarest and most visually spectacular submissions in professional MMA, requiring exceptional control, positioning, flexibility, timing, and technical awareness.
This compilation brings together every Twister submission featured in UFC history, showcasing some of the most unusual finishes ever seen inside the Octagon.
What Is The Twister?
The Twister is a submission that combines control of an opponent's lower body with powerful rotational pressure through the torso and neck.
The position can look unusual to casual viewers because it doesn't resemble the traditional submission setups most fans are familiar with.
Instead, the fighter attempts to isolate the opponent's body while creating rotational pressure.
When executed correctly, the technique can force an opponent to submit quickly.
The Korean Zombie vs Garcia

One of the most famous examples of the Twister came from Chan Sung Jung, better known as The Korean Zombie.
Jung became one of MMA's most exciting fighters because of his aggressive style and willingness to attempt unconventional techniques.
His Twister finish became an iconic moment in MMA history and helped introduce the submission to a much wider audience.
It demonstrated that creativity on the ground could produce spectacular results even at the highest level of competition.
Mitchell vs Sayles
11:15 — Mitchell vs Sayles
The compilation continues with another rare Twister submission.
This sequence demonstrates just how important positional control is when attempting the technique.
The opportunity doesn't simply appear.
The fighter must recognize the position, establish control, isolate the opponent's movement, and then transition into the submission.
A tiny mistake can allow the opponent to escape.
Blackshear vs Johnson
17:05 — Blackshear vs Johnson
Another spectacular example comes from Blackshear vs Johnson.
The fight demonstrates why unusual submissions can be so difficult to defend.
Most fighters spend years developing defensive reactions against common submissions.
The Twister is much less frequently encountered.
That unfamiliarity can create opportunities for a fighter who recognizes the position before the opponent understands the danger.
Magomedov vs Baghdasaryan
22:33 — Magomedov vs Baghdasaryan
The final featured Twister showcases another rare application of the technique.
Like the previous examples, the submission highlights the importance of grappling awareness and positional transitions.
At the highest level of MMA, fighters constantly search for small openings.
Sometimes those openings lead to a submission that almost nobody expected.
Why Is The Twister So Rare?
The Twister isn't necessarily impossible to perform.
The problem is creating the right circumstances.
MMA fighters are extremely skilled at escaping dangerous positions.
They constantly move their hips, protect their necks, defend positional control, and prevent opponents from establishing dominant grips.
That makes the sequence required for a Twister extremely difficult to complete.
Technique Meets Opportunity
The rarity of the Twister makes every successful finish especially memorable.
It also demonstrates an important principle of MMA:
You don't always need the most common technique.
Sometimes the fighter who sees an opportunity that everyone else overlooks can create the most unexpected finish.
The Korean Zombie's Legacy
The Korean Zombie remains one of the most beloved fighters in MMA history.
His aggressive fighting style, willingness to take risks, and creative submission game made him a fan favorite.
His Twister finish became one of the signature moments of his career.
It also helped establish the technique as one of the most fascinating submissions in modern MMA.
Final Thoughts
The Twister may not be the most common submission in UFC history.
But that is exactly what makes it so fascinating.
Every successful finish requires exceptional positional awareness, timing, control, and creativity.
From The Korean Zombie vs Garcia to Mitchell vs Sayles, Blackshear vs Johnson, and Magomedov vs Baghdasaryan, these rare submissions demonstrate just how unpredictable MMA can be.
Most fighters prepare for the submissions they expect.
The most dangerous grapplers can sometimes find the one their opponent never saw coming.
Four rare finishes. One unforgettable submission.
