Judo Chop 'Year of the Guillotine': Part 3 - MMA Adaptations

T.P. closes the 'Year of the Guillotine' mini-series with a look at the MMA specific ways fighters are catching guillotines.

This is the final installment of the "Year of the Guillotine" min-series of Judo Chops examining trends that lead to the guillotine becoming a more prominent submission in 2015 than ever before in MMA. Part I explored the increased understanding of how to apply pressure to the choke and how that has lead to the evolution of new, more efficient grips. Part II looked at the arm-in guillotine in particular as it was once was considered a less-desirable grip but last year was the most used single grip to finish the submission.
