With the end of the May calendar for major MMA events around the world, SUPER LUTAS has prepared a list of the best submissions from the fifth month of the year.

The month of May featured athletes achieving submissions in epic comebacks, fighters “sleeping” in the octagon and rare positions in grappling. Among so many highlights, SUPER LUTAS chose the three best.

The epic victory of Charles of the Bronx about Justin gaethje in the main fight of UFC 274 I couldn't stay out. After suffering two knockdowns, the Brazilian showed that he is not the greatest finisher in the history of the organization for nothing and, with a rear-naked choke, he “took another neck” to his extensive collection.
