Thread: D's thread got me thinking about finishes...

What ARE the greatest finishes ever?

Mine would have to be Chuck's flurry on Tito. He even seemed to hit tito on his way to the canvas.

To be honest, my favorite finish EVER has got to be Frye v Shamrock at Pride 19....dear god....still gives me chills to watch.

Definately worth watching the entire fight if you have the time. After such a long even fight, to have it end for almost an entire minute with two guys just wrenching the hell out of the ankle locks on each other. Both guys had them sunk in deep, but neither would tap. Frye actually wound up having his ankle broken, but still refused to stop fighting, and actually won the decision.

Yep, saw that one. Great stuff. However, the BEST part of that entire fight is listening to Bas go "JESUS CHRIST!!!" I almost pissed my pants laughing!

who was frye refering to when he said that Ken ended their careers?

Haha...Bas definately helped the moment.

To be honest, I have no idea...I remember there being some controversy in UFC 1 that Ken wrenched the heel hook too hard and seriously hurt Pat Smith, who was pissed at Ken (but I think more for him "not fighting like a man" than anything) but Smith went on to fight at the next UFC (very successfully, I might add) so I really don't know.
