I haven't seen much appreciation for two of the best Subs this year that happened on Saturday night. 

"The Korean Zombie" Chan Sung Jung subbed Leonard "Bad Boy" Garcia with the first Twister pulled off in the UFC. 

Richard "Rare Breed" Hale does his best Toby Imada impression pulling off an inverted triangle on Nik "The Machete" Fekete putting an end to the prospects undefeated streak. This is a move typically seen only in lower weight classes. 

I haven't seen any other subs this year as unique as these 2.

I give props to KZ for the twister, but even more so because he pulled off a sub 1 second before the end of the round.

I was thinking...... no way in hell is Garcia gonna' tap with only seconds to go, just as he tapped.

Top subs so far by a mile. People need to update their rankings.

I can understand why you guys chose the Twister but I chose the triangle as my number 1. The size of the guys added to my surprise.

I got the twister at number one so far just because it was a submission I had never seen before and he got Leonard Garcia to tap just before the round ended.  I do give props to Hale though for pulling off an incredible submission that I would never expect from a light heavyweight.

Hale and Jung, other than that subs have been rather weak so far. From what I can remember.

If you like them get your rankings updated Jung is sitting at consensus 11 and Hale at 26.

Updated. Already too many to choose from for filling out the top 10. Jung has to be #1 in my book, based on the rarity of the move, the rematch drama, 1-second left, etc.
