At UFC 200 on Saturday, Joe Lauzon heads the Fight Pass prelims when he faces Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt Diego Sanchez. Lauzon, however, is a seasoned BJJ practitioner as well and has routinely employed submissions in his fights. In fact, he’s won Submission of the Night honors more than any other UFC fighter—six times.
Lauzon’s last submission victory came over Jamie Varner in 2012. Maybe UFC 200 will see a return to form for the Massachusetts native. His grappling is a delight to witness, and we’re long overdue for it.
He’s won 18 of his 25 victories via submission, and we’ve ranked his top five. Click through to find out which ones made the cut!
