5 times fighters tried to weather a submission but paid the price

#2. Jacare Souza vs. Andre Muniz - Armbar submission

Jacare Souza and Andre Muniz's fight at UFC 262 came to an end after Muniz managed to lock in an Armbar submission. The fight went down in May this year at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas.

Souza started the fight strongly, seemingly laying into Muniz after his compatriot had claimed that he was a better grappler than him. However, Muniz did not take that lying down and responded with a series of takedowns of his own.

Another takedown attempt from Muniz was Souza's undoing. Although 'Jacare' managed to shrug Muniz over the top, the surging middleweight got a hold of his arm and transitioned into a uniquely positioned armbar.

Muniz went on to torque the arm until an audible snap brought an end to the fight. Replays subsequently verified that Souza had suffered a fracture and was soon attended to by medical officials.

#1. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira vs. Frank Mir - Kimura submission

Antonio Nogueira took on heavyweight kingpin Frank Mir for the second time in what was a co-main event at UFC 140. The event unfolded at the Scotiabank Arena in Ontario, Canada, in December 2011.

Their heavyweight clash came to an end in the first round. Nogueira, who had managed to rock Mir with a strike to the head, tried to nail him down with a submission. However, Mir managed to squirm out of mount and subsequently locked on a tight kimura.

Mir, who had earned a significant amount of infamy as a fighter who was not averse to breaking bones, went on to break his opponent's arm and secure victory in gruesome fashion.
