10 unbelievably creative moments in MMA

#9 Olivier Fontaine’s armbar after getting caught

The armbar being secured

This was a moment that elicited a unanimous “hell yeah” from every mixed martial arts aficionado. Even though the fight between Olivier Fontaine and Sofiane Benchohra was short, the finale made up for it, in a big way.

As Fontaine attempted a roundhouse kick, it was caught by Benchohra. Fontaine was left hobbling on one leg until he jumped and pulled-off an armbar. Benchohra tried to fend it off but it was too late, Fontaine had securely locked-in the submission move. The sheer technical brilliance of the move was a treat to watch.
