If we were listing the rarest things you’ll see in MMA, you might include Demian Maia’s trash talk, or a Brazilian crowd that doesn’t tell an overseas fighter they’re going to die when they walk out to face a local star. But also up there in that list is a submission technique that always elicits an excited response from Joe Rogan when someone attempts it inside the octagon, the gogoplata. This year has actually proved to be something of a prolific year for the gogoplata, as we’ve already seen two examples of the technique as a fight finisher already in 2019.
