- Bryce Mitchell | Submission | Round 1
- 2019 | UFC on ESPN 7

He got a freaking twister!!! That's the unicorn of submissions!!!
-
2
- Gozali vs. Muravitskiy
- Aviv Gozali | Submission | Round 1
- 2019 | Bellator 225
-
Gozali landed a heel hook reminiscent of the one Ryo Chonan landed on Anderson back in the day. I can't wait to see where his career goes.

3
- Cirkunov vs. Crute
- Misha Cirkunov | Submission | Round 1
- 2019 | UFC on ESPN+ 16

After getting knocked around like Cirkunov always does, he pulled out a crazy peruvian knecktie submission in a great comeback victory
-
4
- Primus vs. Wilde
- Brent Primus | Submission | Round 1
- 2019 | Bellator Birmingham
-
No year s complete without a Gogo choke, and Primus didn't disappoint.
-
5
- Branch vs. Hermansson
- Jack Hermansson | Submission | Round 1
- 2019 | UFC on ESPN 2
-
This one gets so high on the list just because of how stunning it was that Hermansson got it, and where it propelled him to later.
-
6
- Trueman vs. Burnell
- Mads Burnell | Submission | Round 2
- 2019 | Cage Warriors 106
-
Another crazy necktie submission on one of the most violent events of the year. Way to stand out, Burnell.
-
7
- Sandhagen vs. Bautista
- Cory Sandhagen | Submission | Round 1
- 2019 | UFC on ESPN+ 1
-
Sandhagen is one of the nastiest submission artists south of 155, and he showed it in this fight.
-
8
- Assunção vs. Moraes II
- Marlon Moraes | Submission | Round 1
- 2019 | UFC on ESPN+ 2
-
While a common submission, it came against one of the best the division has had to offer for years.
-
9
- Craig vs. Nzechukwu
- Paul Craig | Submission | Round 3
- 2019 | UFC on ESPN 2
-
Paul Craig is Misha Cirkunov light in that all he can do is take punishment and pull off come from behind submissions.
-
10
- Oliveira vs. Teymur
- Charles Oliveira | Submission | Round 2
- 2019 | UFC on ESPN+ 2
-
The Fight was great and the submission was executed with such veracity by Oliveira that I couldn't not include it on this list.
