Maaaaadooooooon!

For the last time you guys. There is absolutely no neck crank there. In order for there to have been a neck crank you'd need a BASE, lever and fulcrum. There was no BASE...It's just some chick desperately trying to power her forearm through Rondas lips to get her to tap.


Come on now guys...Do any of yous TRANE??

I'll admit that Liz was using the proper technique of a crank, But she would of needed to base out somewhere not just floating around her back while Ronda is standing...Without the base it's just a face press...Am I wrong here?

It's what coleman tapped dan severn with, although severn was on the ground experienced grapplers get tapped like that.

Bucephalus already proved Winston wrong, but if you still aren't convinced, just check any recent ADCC and you'll see the face crush used with success on very high level grapplers.

This is what i'm saying. You have to be on the ground or even against the cage for a base...No?


Can it really be done without a base to be able to torque the lever? Isn't this just basic physics?

Please tell me how I am wrong on this..Yes I agree that some may tap as the pressure on the lip nerves may be excruciating but it is not a neck crank until Carmouche bases out somewhere.

Right? Wrong?

I'd love to see all these folks saying this "isn't a submission" have that slapped on them by someone that knows what they are doing, it can be excruciating, just because you haven't done something in your white belt BJJ class or because you think it's "cheap" while rolling in class doesn't mean you won't get tapped by it.......

It is a bit of a reach to go for it standing, however it CAN work as long as you have both hooks secure, which is EXACTLY why Rousey reached down to pull out a hook.

Ok..So I reviewed this thing like a hundred times and it does seem that for 1 split second when Carmouch was around Rondas back with her hooks in she had a base where she could torque the neck...But it wasn't a stable base as all Ronda had to do is turn with the crank attempt and shuck her off...which she did...So ok, i'll admit for 1 second she may have had a neck crank possibility...But it would've take a real moron not to turn with it since there was no stable base...But from my experience it had all the looks of a face lock.

I agree with you...This is what i'm trying to get at...You really can't do this standing and I also don't think it's cheap. I've had it done to me and i've done it to others...But in my experience I have found that most experienced grapplers will deal with the pain and ultimately figure there was out unles totally based out with no options of escaping.

Winston Wolf - anyone who has rolled is not tapping to that
Sure in practice go a head and tap no point in fighting it depending on the situation. Now in a fight no way am I tapping. Phone Post

You must have never rolled.

That hurts like hell. Phone Post
That's what I was thinking. I'd rather have a full rear naked on me than a crank like that. Phone Post

spidermanik - For all the ug alphas saying no one taps to that, check out the bjj kumite and how Gary tonon has tapped a few guys with it, it's a legit technique. Phone Post
Garry does it all the time, although he usually doesn't turn the guys head. He's a face choking motherfucker. Phone Post

Vitor the Taxi Driver Belfort - This was a face crush, not a neck crank..


At least I was taught to call them different names

I totally agree with punk rock vitor...It was 99% face crush, but I did observe for a split second when Carmouche had both her hooks in there was enough base and opportunity to do a quick crank, whether Carmouche realized it or not (i'm thinking not...it looked like a face crush for dear life) but it doesn't even matter because once the hook got picked out she was able to be tossed and did get tossed.

Ronda looked horrible defending that, and who knows what would have been if not for Ronda biting while in that position.

Bucephalus - 
WikiTheWalrus -  Maybe WW was referring to neck cranks in general, but I obviously was not.

Great. Well I said he was incorrect. And he has already acknowledged it.

Thanks for your input.

Touche, but your argument is semantics. You didn't say he was incorrect, you said "it's not correct" with the "it" being the statement "is not tapping to that." I was referring to "that" specifically as the hold Carmouche had on Rousey. You were referring to "that" as neck cranks in general, and WW seems to have been referring to neck cranks generally as well. There was a misunderstanding, cool, whatever, but it doesn't change the fact that Rousey wasn't in any trouble from that neck crank, which is what my assertion has been all along.

If you want to debate the technique and positioning of the Carmouche/Rousey neck crank, by all means; I await your breakdown. If you want to argue about neck cranks being a legit way to sub someone then there's no need; I would have agreed with you on that point from the beginning.

Oh please.  Anyone saying that they wouldn't tap to a face crank/crossface has never had it done to them correctly.

Pessimist_Pete - 
WikiTheWalrus -
Bucephalus - 
WikiTheWalrus - 
Winston Wolf - anyone who has rolled is not tapping to that

This is the correct.

No, it's not correct.

Yes it is. Every one of the examples posted above proves my point. In order for the crank to work from back mount, Rousey's back needed to be straight and turned into the crank. She was bending forward and her head was away from the crank.

This argument isn't whether a neck crank has ever finished anyone, it is whether an experienced grappler would have tapped to what Carmouche had on Rousey. Being an experienced grappler, I would not. I would do exactly what Rousey did. (and I have before in a jits tourney during the gold medal match, ending in an americana win for me)
I submitted you with a neck crank in the hold medal match. Phone Post

I've been submitted in a tournament once (that I can remember), and I've had roughly 60+ judo and jits tournament matches. The one sub wasn't a crank either, it was a 10-finger guillotine, which, like an asshat, I sat into it. (I thought I could pull-guard and pop my head out. That didn't work.)

Not bragging, just calling your BS.

yeah you're much more experienced then Rich Clementi...fuck out of here. I seen a nogi killer from Ashville NC tap an ATT blackbelt with a neckcrank

I understand the reading comprehension here is abysmal, but try to follow along. I am not talking about the general effectiveness of neck cranks. I am referring to the crank Carmouche had on Rousey.

Specifically, Carmouche did not have Rousey's back straightened (Rhonda was leaning forward, relieving pressure) and Carmouche did not have Rousey's face pulled into the crank. A neck crank where the head is being pushed away will never have as much pressure as a crank where the head is being pulled into the crank.

Yeah.. when someone forces their forearm in another person's mouth, that tends to happen.

Exactly. Here's a better shot:

Here is the problem.
This was an MMA fight,
Not a BJJ match.

Have neck cranks tapped people in BJJ and MMA? Yes of course they have.

But what Liz is doing there really is just a face smash/improper RNC. It's not even really a neck crank.

This is very evident by Ronda leaning forward, not using her hands on the arm at all.

Do people tap to neck cranks? Yep they sure do, but no one in competition would have tapped to that thing Liz was doing. Phone Post
