#6 The “elbow pop” armbar to Jason DeLucia

Gracie not letting go of the arm

UFC enthusiasts would remember Jason DeLucia as the unfortunate victim of an armbar submission hold resulting in first-of-many losses for the American fighter. At the sophomore event of UFC, DeLucia went toe-to-toe against Royce Gracie in a high-octane match-up.

A technically proficient Gracie landed an arm and didn’t let go of it, despite DeLucia tapping out to it which led to the commentator claiming that DeLucia’s elbow had popped. However, the popping of the elbow was denied later.
