#2 D'Arce choke

As with most submission techniques, the D'Arce choke has its origins in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu's brabo and anaconda chokes. It made its way to the legendary Renzo Gracie academy in New York, where a grappler named Joe D'Arce used it to win several matches in the mid-2000s. An outspoken grappler named Marc Laimon re-christened the technique after Joe D'Arce and from then on, it was called the D'Arce choke. It is one of UFC Interim Lightweight Champion Tony Ferguson's favorite weapons and he has finished 3 of his opponents with the D'Arce choke.
